Ginger Slaw

This zesty ginger slaw offers a vibrant twist on the classic British coleslaw, replacing the traditional heavy dressing with a bright, punchy infusion of fresh ginger and Dijon mustard. Using a base of crisp cabbage and sweet grated carrots, this vegetarian side dish provides a wonderful crunch and a sophisticated depth of flavour that balances well with both grilled mains and fried snacks. It is a refreshing alternative for those looking to liven up their salad selection with minimal effort.

Ideal for summer garden parties or as a zesty accompaniment to a weekday dinner, this recipe benefits from a few hours in the fridge to let the aromatic spices meld. The addition of low-fat soured cream ensures a lighter, tangier finish than standard shop-bought versions. Simply toss through some fresh parsley just before serving to maintain its bright colour and herbal fragrance.
