Red Cabbage and Beet Slaw with Goat Cheese

I love looking for inspiration and sometimes the source can be surprising. Such is the case for this delicious slaw made of beets and red cabbage. Both ingredients were left over from “experiments” with natural dyes for color Easter eggs a few weeks ago. I decided to combine the ingredients with really fantastic results for a modern twist on a traditional classic. The color is vibrant and the taste is crisp and fresh. This will definitely be a a go to side dish for many of my summer barbecues.

Grandma’s Coleslaw with Warm Dressing

When I think about perfect no fuss side dishes for the summer my grandmother’s coleslaw always comes to mind. My paternal grandparents were Gottscheers, descendents of a small colony founded in 1350 with only 300 families. Gottscheers lived in a small area within the Austro- Hungarian Empire only 331 square miles. Customs and ltheir own dialect was handed down generation to generation, as were recipes. My grandparents were part of the large emigration from their homeland to the United States in the early 1900’s. Gottscheers remained close once they arrived in the United States. My grandparents were part of the Gottscheer group living in Ridgewood, Queens. My grandparents and their friends would socialize often, which included Sunday night card games. this coleslaw was served many, many sunday nights and it brings to mind love, friendship and just having a good time.
