Coleslaw is a simple salad that comprises of finely shredded cabbage and carrot. It is commonly dressed with mayonnaise or salad cream and usually eaten as sides to Jollof rice, fried rice, and other rice dishes. Nigerian coleslaw can also be eaten on it's own, with chicken or other accompaniments. Most times, coleslaw is favoured to Nigerian salad because of the easy preparation over the latter. This is a quick recipe with just 3 ingredients and takes 10 minutes to prepare.
