I once tried Jamie Oliver Coleslaw salad, a refreshing recipe, and it changed my perspective about regular coleslaw. This recipe by Jamie Oliver proves that coleslaw can be a flavorful addition to any meal when made well.
I tried this dish with hearty burgers and fries and was taken aback by its simplicity and refreshing flavor.
Jamie Oliver’s twist to Coleslaw makes it unlike any other, but before I get ahead of myself, let me tell you a bit about the history of this dish.
At its core, this Coleslaw recipe is a blend of finely chopped cabbage and other vegetables, dressed with a tangy sauce. It’s simple, but when made with fresh ingredients and the right balance of flavors, it becomes a star on the plate.
Chef Oliver’s techniques follow the same principles, with a lovely twist of exciting flavors. Gather your ingredients, mix them well, following the details below, and enjoy this cherished dish’s delicious crunch and flavor.
Equipment Required
- Mixing Bowl: I use a large bowl to mix the vegetables, but you can use a medium-sized bowl.
- Knife and Chopping Board: I recommend using a sharp knife and a sturdy board to chop the vegetables.
- Measuring Cups and Spoons: I always remember to use these tools to get exact measurements of the ingredients I need.
- Grater: To finely grate the veggies, I recommend using a grater.
- Hand Blender or Whisk: Use a blender or whisk to mix the yogurt.
Jamie Oliver Coleslaw Ingredients & Substitutions
Note: The ingredients mentioned in this section are sufficient to make six portions of Jamie Oliver Coleslaw Salad.
- 2 Carrots
- 1 Bulb Fennel
- 1 Lemon: For a sharp acidic and mild sweet note use white vinegar, or a fruity citrusy punch, try orange juice.
- 2 Teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil: You can also substitute with olive oil for a grassy note compared to extra virgin olive oil.
- 250ml Yogurt: As a creamy and tangy option try sour cream; if you don’t want a sour taste try mayonnaise as a yummy and creamier option.
- 2 Tablespoons Mustard Paste: You can also include freshly ground mustard powder for a spicy and naturally robust flavor.
- 1 Tablespoon of Fresh Soft Herbs (use mint, fennel, dill, parsley and chervil)
- 1 Teaspoon of Black Pepper Powder

- 1 Beetroot
- 1 Turnip
- ½ Small Celeriac
- 400g Red and White Cabbage
- ½ Red Onion: I use white or yellow onion for a milder flavor with very little sweetness.

Expert Tips That I Recommend
- If you want, you can toss your vegetables in some olive oil and let them cool before adding them to the dressing.
- Shred the veggies finely, not too thick or chunky. This ensure the dressing is well coated and the veggies are combined nicely.
- You can also add some salt to the cabbage and let it rest for a while to remove the excess water and soften the cabbage.
- The key to a great Coleslaw is the dressing, so ensure to add the perfect balance of tang, creaminess, and savoury flavours to the dressing.
- Besides vegetables, you can also try incorporating fruits into your Coleslaw. Consider adding diced green apples, mangoes, avocados, kiwis, and peaches, along with berries like strawberries, blueberries, grapes, cherries, and figs.
