The perfect side to an array of Trinidadian dishes

Trinidad-style coleslaw has become a traditional side dish for locals with recipe variations including and excluding mayonnaise.

In this version shredded cabbage and carrots get a touch of sweetness from a tangy dressing combining apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and a little mayo to add a touch of delicious creaminess.
