When I was still at school, I used to have a weekend job at my local Harvester restaurant (http://www.harvester.co.uk). The home of the salad cart and spit roast kitchen... And even the soup or salad saying for the original lunchtime deal. At the end of my shift on a Saturday night, I used to treat myself to a healthy bowl of salad, but occasionally a bowl of chips and coleslaw. The coleslaw was freshly made each day. What's easier then tossing together cabbage, onion and carrot with some mayonnaise. I've always made my own since, you can't beat it and its so much more tasty then the shop brought with lots of crunch and in my case chunky with extra onion. My only variation is that i use half fat mayo. Did working at the Harvester make me into a coleslaw snob? I think so, it's homemade only all the way!
Tonight's was perfect with chicken kiev.
