The slaw is very popular side item especially in the fall and cooler months but is pretty flexible as a side item. I created that recipe for my Certified Executive Chef exam and sold it on a menu once and it is still here. It is well balanced and delicious.

Vegetable Slaw 1 Peel the carrots and cut into 2 inch long pieces. Square off and fine julienne. Hold in cold water so they don’t curl. 2 Cut the flesh off the pepper like squaring off the carrot.
