Kim doesn’t much like cabbage and so we don’t have coleslaw at home too often, which is unfortunate, because it’s a fantastic barbecue side dish. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it before, but why not make coleslaw without the cabbage? So, that’s just what I did.

I used shredded carrot, cucumber and green onions with cider vinegar, mayo and black pepper for the dressing. I don’t quite remember the quantities of ingredients, but it shouldn’t matter if you know what the end result is supposed to be like. Cheat by using the dressing from another recipe if you don’t feel comfortable winging it. Just don’t be tempted to add sugar; the carrots make it sweet enough.
