The rainbow slaw was invented in the early 1900s by a group of farmers in the Midwest. They were looking for a way to use up their excess radishes, and they came up with the idea of slicing them thinly and tossing them with a simple vinaigrette. The slaw was a hit with the farmers and their families, and it soon became a popular dish at potlucks and picnics. Over the years, the rainbow slaw has evolved to include other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and sprouts. The vinaigrette has also been updated to include a variety of different flavors, such as apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and Dijon mustard. Today, the rainbow slaw is a classic side dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages.
