Classic Coleslaw

The air is warm, the sun is shining, and BBQ season is definitely upon us! 

Last week I shared my Apple Wood Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork, and NOTHING goes better with a nice BBQ pulled pork than a delicious Classic Coleslaw! 

I have to be honest with you, my husband and I have never been real fans of coleslaw. 

It seems to always be too wet, and the flavor can be a little bland, BUT this coleslaw recipe is a game changer and you are going to love it! 

I can't wait to show you how I made it!

Classic Coleslaw:

*Prep Time:  20 minutes  *Cook Time:  --  *Servings: 6-10

Ingredients:

• 1/2 a small head of red cabbage, shredded
• 1/2 a small head of cabbage, shredded
• 2 carrots, peeled and shredded
• 4 green onions, sliced
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 1 tbsp. chopped parsley
• 1 tbsp. chopped chives
• 1 tbsp. white vinegar
• 1/2 tsp. seasoning salt
• Salt and pepper to taste

Tools:

• Chef's knife
• Grater
• Whisk
• Measuring cups
• Measuring spoons
• Mixing bowl
• Rubber spatula
• Cling wrap

To get started, shred the carrots, red cabbage, and regular cabbage. 

This can be done with a knife OR a grater.

Next, chop your fresh herbs and green onions.

If you do not have fresh herbs, you can use dry. 

 Just reduce the amount by half.

Then, in a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar,

seasoning salt, herbs, salt, and pepper.

Now whisk it all together.

To the sauce, add the cabbage...

Red cabbage...

And carrots.

Mix it all together with the rubber spatula, and taste for seasoning.

You may need to add a little salt and pepper.

Cover with cling wrap, and put in the fridge for at least one hour to chill,

but over night is best.

And there you have it! 

Easy Peesy, Classic Coleslaw!

The sauce just coats all of the crispy vegetables and the herbs give it that little POP of

extra freshness!  This Classic Cole Slaw is perfect on BBQ sandwiches or as a side at your next picnic!  Get the kids in the kitchen with you and let them grate the cabbage!  This is a side that the entire family can get in on!  I know you are going to love it!

As always,

Happy Reading, Happy Eating, and Happy Living,
