If you love a good coleslaw, this one's for you.

It's crunchy, creamy, slightly sweet with a little kick. Warm slices of FROZN turn it from a side dish into a proper meal.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 FROZN chicken patties
  • Red cabbage
  • Carrots
  • Cucumber
  • Spring onions
  • For the dressing:
  • Greek yoghurt (or mayonnaise if you prefer)
  • Sweet chilli sauce
  • Salt

Optional

  • Sesame seeds
  • Fresh coriander
  • Crispy onions
  • Chilli flakes

Method

  1. 1
    Heat FROZN straight from frozen and slice if you prefer bite-sized pieces.
  2. 2
    Finely slice the cabbage, cucumber and spring onions, then grate the carrots.
  3. 3
    Mix Greek yoghurt (or mayonnaise) with sweet chilli sauce and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  4. 4
    Toss the vegetables through the dressing until everything is evenly coated.
  5. 5

Founder tip

Slice the vegetables as thinly as you can—I always reach for a mandoline when I make this. It takes the salad from "nice" to that restaurant-style crunch you can't quite recreate with a knife. And don't skip the sweet chilli dressing... it completely makes the recipe.
