Crisp coleslaw is a refreshing accompaniment to all sorts of grilled and roasted meats. This simple side is really just shredded vegetables tossed with dressing—so experiment with other vegetables, such as shredded broccoli, Brussels sprouts or red cabbage, and additions, such as dill or toasted hazelnuts, to find your perfect combination. For a delicious gluten-free dinner, serve mini burger patties on top of a bed of slaw.

I added your recipe for my dinner on Sunday with bread and grilled meat. I wonder can I use more kind of vegetable on it?
