Coleslaw salad is served in American cafes and restaurants as a side dish. Overseas, in catering establishments, this dish tastes a little sweet. The culinary secret is to use sweet carrots and sugar as seasoning. The healthy base of the salad is carrots and cabbage; everything else is a delicious dressing. A mixture of sour cream, mayonnaise and mustard is used as a sauce. You can change the fat content of the sauce by using different proportions of sour cream and mayonnaise.
