- Hey, everybody. You know what?
0:01
Summer goes by so fast and Labor Day is upon us
0:07
and we're getting ready to go back to school.
0:09
But before we do, we got a couple of more picnics,
0:11
we got a couple more beach trips, we got stuff to do,
0:14
maybe some couple more parties at the house,
0:16
maybe one or two more barbecues,
0:18
and then we gotta get back to business.
0:20
We gotta get those kids back to school.
0:22
And, oh, boy, do I need my kids to go to school.
0:25
Triplet five-year-olds.
0:26
Let's go, open up the schools today. (laughs)
0:30
All right, so I'm gonna show you a really good,
0:32
really simple coleslaw recipe.
0:35
So we're using the bagged cabbage from the grocery store.
0:38
You can find this right in your produce section
0:43
at the grocery store.
0:44
And I'm also using a coleslaw mix, a coleslaw dressing.
0:48
So really, it doesn't get much easier than this.
0:50
To our recipe, we're gonna add some caraway seeds
0:56
Caraway seeds are, maybe you don't know,
0:59
but that's a coleslaw staple.
1:00
(container lid rustling)
1:02
The recipe calls for about a quarter of a cup
1:04
of the coleslaw dressing.
1:07
I'm just gonna eyeball this
1:08
'cause a quarter cup doesn't sound like enough to me.
1:13
So I think that's gonna be
1:15
in the half cup range right there.
1:16
(container lid rustling)
1:19
And I'm going to go ahead and mix it up and see how it goes.
1:23
If it's not enough, I'll add a little bit more.
1:26
It's about a half cup.
1:27
(coleslaw squelching)
1:28
And remember, you can always add,
1:31
but you can never take it out once you put it in there.
1:34
So if you're unsure or if you're eyeballing a recipe,
1:38
(coleslaw squelching)
1:40
be a little conservative to begin with,
1:42
especially with your liquid ingredients
1:43
or with your salts and what have you.
1:47
You can give it a shot, a taste, and see if you need to add.
1:51
But you don't ever wanna find yourself in a position
1:53
where you say, "Oh, my gosh, I put way too much salt in here
1:55
"or way too much mayonnaise or whatever."
1:58
You always wanna be able to add a little bit more.
2:00
And this looks good, but it's still a little bit dry.
2:04
(container lid rustling)
2:05
So we're probably gonna end up
2:07
in the three quarters cup range.
2:10
(container rustling) That's about a quarter.
2:13
And the first go around was about a half cup says my eye.
2:16
(coleslaw squelching)
2:18
Yeah, that's looking better. Looks real good.
2:20
(container lid rustling)
2:21
These prepared coleslaw dressings,
2:24
there are many brands out there
2:25
and I don't have an allegiance to any particular one,
2:27
but there's some real good ones.
2:28
So find the one that you like.
2:30
And again, this is just a bagged, pre-cut cabbage
2:35
from the grocery store.
2:37
So if you're going to the beach with hot dogs
2:40
and you wanna make 'em slaw dogs.
2:43
Slaw is even really good on a burger
2:47
or just as a bit of side to your ribs.
2:50
So if you're in a hurry
2:51
and you need a slaw for your next party, here it is.
2:54
Doesn't get much simpler than that.
2:56
And I'm just gonna chop up some green onions.
3:18
Now, if you wanted to squeeze a little bit of lemon juice
3:19
on top of this, you wanna taste it, of course,
3:21
'cause your coleslaw dressing's completely seasoned.
3:26
But if you wanna just squeeze in a little lemon juice
3:28
or a little vinegar right on top, would never hurt.
3:31
And that looks really, really nice.
3:34
a little salt and pepper to taste never hurts.
3:39
A little bit of salt and pepper to taste.
3:41
- [Videographer] There's a lemon right behind you.
3:42
- [Bobby] I got a lemon behind me?
3:43
- [Videographer] Right behind you.
3:51
I like that nice, bright lemon juice.
3:56
Citrus on just about anything.
4:00
That'll really add a nice little brightness
4:08
(coleslaw squelching)
4:10
So it doesn't get much simpler than that.
4:14
But it looks like you went to more trouble than you did.
4:16
(fork clinking) Let's see.
4:24
Super good. Super simple.
4:27
It's still summer, even though it's almost over.
4:30
So make some slaw. Go to the beach.
