Classic Coleslaw

The origins of coleslaw can be traced back to ancient Rome, where a similar dish was made with cabbage, eggs, and vinegar. The term "coleslaw" itself is derived from the Dutch word "koolsla," which means "cabbage salad." As it made its way through various cultures and culinary practices, coleslaw evolved into the creamy, tangy salad that we know today, particularly gaining popularity in American cuisine.
