You say Coleslaw, I say Koolsla. Coleslaw, the classic American salad of shredded white or red cabbage (or both), carrots, onions and bell peppers, gets its name from the Dutch word Koolsla - Kool (cabbage) Sla (salad). Coleslaws are refreshing when the weathers warm; they really do cool you off. All you need to do is add a sweet mayonnaise-based salad dressing or an oil and vinegar dressing.
