Moderate nutritional value

Shredded raw cabbage and carrot in a creamy mayonnaise dressing.

Coleslaw — photo 1

Coleslaw is finely shredded raw cabbage and carrot in a sweet, tangy dressing of mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar, a standard side for barbecue and fried chicken. Most of its calories come from the dressing: it is fairly high in fat and has about 9.5 g of sugars per 100 g, mostly added. Replacing half the mayonnaise with plain yogurt and using less sugar gives a lighter slaw.
