Power Up Slaw with the Italian Redhead
Coleslaw—from the Dutch koolsla or “cabbage salad”— is a cool salad in any language. From Indonesian or Thai cucumber-carrot and rice vinegar to accompany satay to North Carolina vinegar slaw for topping pulled pork, slaw is delicious and refreshing in any culinary tradition.
Radicchio, with its fresh, assertive bite and brilliant ruby color, gives slaw a stylish look and fresh flavor. The bitter flavor of radicchio pairs so well with other strong flavors featured in slaw—vinegar, mustard, sugar, soy sauce, citrus, onion, bacon, sour cream—that it’s a “must” for adding to your favorite slaw recipe.
