Italians love their salads and it is not unusual to have more than 5 or 6 different salads at a family meal. Often the salads are simple to prepare and have some very basic ingredients — olive oil, vinegar, garlic cloves and salt, just to name a few of the regulars. Cucumber sometimes with white onion, tomatoes with hot peppers are both crunchy and delicious and another specialty, when in season, is a dandelion salad.
Today, we are going to share a North American version of an Italian Coleslaw Recipe which we hope you enjoy.
