Summer Cheese Coleslaw

Use any of your favourite Cheshire Cheese Company Cheese to create this delicious side dish, which is perfect for BBQ’s, picnics or on sandwiches throughout the Summer months.

Ingredients

• 100g The Cheshire Cheese Company El Gringo Cheese, grated
• 2 Medium carrots, grated
• 1/2 Small white cabbage, thinly sliced
• 6 Spring onions, thinly sliced
• 60ml Mayonnaise
• 60ml Crème fraîche
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: 15ml of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice for extra tanginess
• Additional grated cheese and chilli flakes for garnish

Method

1. Grate the carrots using a box grater or a food processor or a mandolin with a grating attachment. Thinly slice the white cabbage and spring onions. Place all the vegetables in a large mixing bowl. 
2. Grate the 100g of The Cheshire Cheese Company El Gringo Cheese using a cheese grater or a food processor. Add the grated cheese to the bowl with the vegetables.
3. Next, add the mayonnaise and crème fraîche until well combined. If desired, add 15ml of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice for extra tanginess. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Toss everything together until the cheese, vegetables, and dressing are evenly combined and coated.
5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the coleslaw to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavours to meld together and the coleslaw to chill.
6. Just before serving, sprinkle additional grated cheese and chili flakes over the top of the coleslaw for garnish. This will add extra cheesiness and a hint of spice to each bite.
7. Once garnished, give the coleslaw a final toss and serve as a side dish with burgers, sandwiches, grilled meats, or any other meal of your choice.
