Coleslaw is a South African favorite. Growing up, it would be part of the menu at most events, from braai's to 7 colors Sunday kos to weddings; you name it! But I always felt the traditional recipe has always limited the potential a coleslaw salad has in adding more nutritional value to us as a dish, so I decided to experiment a little and came up with this fantastic recipe. What's surprising is that no matter what you add to coleslaw, it always tastes like the same old coleslaw we know. So what do you have to lose by adding more nutrition and getting the same cold coleslaw flavor we all love so much!
