Best Lemon Slaw Recipes

BROCCOLI SLAW WITH LEMON DRESSING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the first 8 ingredients. Add coleslaw mix and apples; toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, until serving.

LEMON-TAHINI SLAW

Steps:

• Chop and smash the capers, lemon zest and half the scallions together into a coarse, wet paste. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and the scallion-caper mixture. Massage with your hands until the cabbage is slightly wilted.
• Prepare the dressing: In a liquid measuring cup, stir together the remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice, the tahini and mustard. Add water until thick but pourable (about 3 tablespoons depending on tahini brand). Season to taste with salt and pepper and another teaspoon of mustard for more kick, if desired.
• Add the snap peas, radishes and remaining scallions to the cabbage, then stir in enough dressing to lightly coat. (Leftover dressing will keep for up to a week; thin with water as needed.) Season slaw to taste with salt and pepper.

SEARED TUNA WITH FENNEL-AND-LEMON SLAW

Steps:

• To make the slaw, whisk together in a large bowl the zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and black pepper. Add the fennel, toss and refrigerate for 1 hour. Carefully wrap the fennel fronds in plastic to keep them fresh, then refrigerate.
• When ready to serve, generously season the tuna on both sides with salt and pepper. Place a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is very hot, add the oil and immediately add the tuna. Cook, turning once, until the tuna is seared on the outside but still very pink at the center, about 5 to 10 minutes depending on its thickness.
• Slice the tuna into thin slices. Lay them over 4 serving plates, place a mound of slaw in the center of each plate, garnish with the chopped fennel fronds and serve.

FRIED CHICKEN AND BISCUITS WITH RED-EYE GRAVY, ROMAINE SLAW AND LEMON JAM

Steps:

• For the chicken: Combine the buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken thighs and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• For the cheddar biscuits: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and pepper in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and mix.
• Add the shortening and butter and mix on low speed until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Add the cheese and mix. Slowly stir in the buttermilk while mixing, just until combined; do not over mix.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about an inch in thickness; be careful not to overwork the dough. Cut, using a 3-inch biscuit cutter, and place the biscuits on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush with melted butter. Bake until the tops are just golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
• For the lemon jam: Put the lemon slices in a small saucepot and cover with 1 1/2 cups water and the sugar. Cook on low heat for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has cooked down to a syrup consistency.
• For the red-eye gravy: Make a roux by combining the butter and flour in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Add the brewed and ground espresso, milk, cream and sausage, and stir well to incorporate the roux. Add the hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low heat until the mixture has a thick, gravy consistency, about 45 minutes.
• For the romaine slaw: Combine the romaine, sour cream, olive oil, red onions, chives, pickled jalapenos and salt and pepper to taste in a large salad bowl and toss well.
• To finish the fried chicken: Heat a few inches of canola oil in a fryer or deep skillet to 320 degrees F. Combine the flour, salt, pepper and smoked paprika in a shallow bowl. Drain the thighs in a colander, and then dredge in the flour mixture. Fry a few pieces at a time in the hot oil until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and has a golden brown crust.
• For each serving, place a dollop of red-eye gravy in the center of the plate. Cut a biscuit in half and place the bottom half atop the gravy. Top with a fried chicken thigh, another dollop of gravy, a fried egg, 1/2 cup romaine slaw and a dollop of lemon jam. Place the top half of the biscuit on top and drizzle with 1/2 cup more gravy. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

LAMB BURGERS WITH LEMON-CAPER AIOLI AND FENNEL SLAW

Steps:

• Lemon-Caper Aioli:
• Place capers in a small bowl and pour in warm water to cover. Let soak 20 minutes. Drain, rinse, and pat dry. Coarsely chop.

• Assembly:
• Shape lamb into 4 patties about 1" thick, season with salt, and let sit at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet, ideally cast iron, over medium. Cook lamb patties, working in batches if needed, until browned (they won't take on as much color as a beef burger), 5-7 minutes. Turn and cook until browned on second side, about 5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer patties to a plate and let rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss celery, fennel, fennel fronds (if using), onion, lemon juice, dried mint, and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. Season slaw with salt and pepper.
• Generously spread aioli on cut sides of buns and build each burger with a lamb patty, 3 or 4 boquerones, and a mound of slaw. This is a messy burger, so the bib is not optional.
• Do Ahead
• Aioli can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

SHSHREDDED PORK WRAPS WITH LEMON COLE SLAW

Steps:

• Pork: Cook onion & garlic in oil in a 4 qt heavy pot over medium heat, stirring until golden, about 8 mins. Stir in remaining ingredients except cole slaw & tortillas. Simmer, covered, turning occasionally, until tender, about 45 minutes. Transfer pork to cutting board. (Opt: Puree cooking liquid in blender until smooth & return to pot. Too messy for me - never tried it.) When cool, shred pork lengthwise. Return to sauce. Salt & pepper to taste. Simmer until pork is heated through. (Side Note: I've never tried to make this in the crock pot, but it would probably be a good candidate. You might want to make sure there is enough liquid to keep it cooking all day.) Cole Slaw: Whisk together sour cream, mayo, zest, lemon juice, sugar, water, salt & pepper in a large bowl, until sugar is dissolved. Add cabbage, carrots, scallions, and parsley. Toss well. Chill, covered, one hour. (Easier method - just use bag of shredded cabbage with carrots; add onion to dressing mix, if desired.) Per serving: For wrap: about 339 calories, 8 gr fat. For coleslaw: 61 cals, 2 gr fat.
