Crunchy apple slaw
This simple recipe by Mike Reid of M Restaurants pays homage to the coleslaw recipes found across the southern United States, where it’s given an extra creaminess with buttermilk and condensed milk.
- The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in a covered container in the fridge. Mix all the dressing ingredients together, cover and chill until required.
- At least 6 hours, or up to 3 days before you plan to serve, toss the cabbages, apples, carrots, red onions, garlic and chillies together in a large bowl with the coriander leaves and spring onions.
- Add the dressing, lemon zest and juice and salt and pepper to taste, and mix together. Cover and chill until required.
