Vinegar Based Coleslaw

When it hits the summer highs and becomes like a broiler outside, the last thing I want to do is boot up an oven or eat anything heavy. I want something that is fresh, crispy, and quick. My general slaw preference is for a creamy coleslaw, but tonight I wanted something a bit more bright and decided to go with a vinegar based coleslaw instead. It paired nicely with the sausages that were thrown on the BBQ.

This was exactly what I was looking for, and the flavours of dill and fennel went wonderfully with the caraway seeds and tang of the horseradish!

Note that I was keeping this low carb and using what I had in the fridge. Feel free to add purple cabbage or shredded carrots if desired.
