Homemade Coleslaw

admin

Homemade Coleslaw is a quick side dish to add to any dinner menu. Shredded cabbage and carrots with a creamy dressing that will compliment sandwiches, BBQ and more.

We love creamy coleslaw to serve with Brisket Tacos, BBQ Sloppy JoesFried Shrimp and just about everything. I realized at a recent cookout that I needed to share my go-to recipe so y'all can try it too.

Coleslaw is a very simple side salad that is easy to make ahead for cookouts, potlucks and busy weeknight dinners. Skip the store bought dressing for this homemade version that literally takes 2 minutes to whip up.

If you are a fan of KFC coleslaw, try our Sweet Coleslaw and if you are looking for a vinegar based slaw, our No Mayo Coleslaw is just the ticket. 

Coleslaw is great for topping honey garlic chicken tender sandwiches, smoked brisket, and shrimp po boys. It's also a favorite to serve alongside fish sticks and chicken strips
