This is adapted from a Bobby Flay recipe for Green Onion Slaw so if you can’t get green garlic you can easily substitute with green onion, but it is a great way to use the green garlic in the summer.
Green Garlic Slaw
Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup green garlic chopped
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 serrano chiles
- 2 tablespoon light mayonaise
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 head red cabbage finely shredded
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Blend green garlic, vinegar, chiles, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and oil in a blender until emulsified. Place cabbage and red onions in a bowl, add the dressing and stir until combined. Fold in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it sit for at least an hour before serving.
- If it is too spicy (some peppers are hotter than others) add a little honey.
thanks for delacious recipe
This is a very pretty slaw recipe- very colorful!
1 small onion, sliced, I added it above. thanks
Sounds delicious. Just one question:
Your directions say to “Place cabbage and red onions in a bowl” … but the Ingredients list does not include red onions. How much does the recipe call for?
It really is an early Summer vegetable I believe it comes up before garlic and they sell it at Farmer’s markets. I am making it again this weekend and will use green onions, it will still be great.
What exactly is green garlic & where do I get it?
Thanks for the suggestion, I find that a little sweetness helps take away some heat when needed, but maybe that is just me.
I can’t imagine that adding honey will help if it turns out too spicy. (That’s like adding sugar to a recipe that has too much vinegar — the real solution to that is in adding baking soda, which will neutralize the vinegar). I think the only thing that could be done in this instance would be to add more cabbage, etc. in order to dilute the chiles.
