But cole slaw can be dressed up to have more of a supporting role in your meal! Try a tangy sweet and sour slaw or a delicious Vietnamese coleslaw with shredded chicken and peanuts. Also, coleslaw makes a great topping on burgers or sandwiches!

Helpful salad Hints
Wooden Kitchen Items, Keeping Fresh: Sprinkle your wooden salad bowls and cutting boards with salt and then rub them with a lemon to freshen them.
Lettuce, Using: If lettuce starts turning a little brown (but not slimy) it may not be suitable for salads - but it is for sauteing. Sauteed salad greens like lettuce, radicchio, and endive make an unusual but tasty side dish. Saute lettuces just as you would spinach. Cook them quickly in a little olive oil, minced garlic, and salt. They taste great, and you can't tell that the greens were once a little brown.
