Sweet Restaurant-Style Coleslaw
This is a terrific coleslaw recipe we've been using for a couple years now. I don't make it often (my son is not a fan!) but I really enjoy it with summery BBQ type meals. The other day we had shredded BBQ chicken sandwiches for dinner, and I thought coleslaw and some baked beans would be great accompaniments!
The sauce is a little on the runny side, so just be aware when you're serving you'll definitely want a slotted spoon - or you can just add more cabbage mixture to the sauce; it goes a long way! This has a nice, creamy texture, with a light sweetness. You can add a couple tablespoons of finely diced onion if you'd like, but I'm not a raw onion fan so I don't add any to ours. If you're not sure how sweet you want the recipe, you can always start with 1/4 cup sugar, taste, and adjust it until it is at the right sweetness-level for you.

ReplyDeleteThe use of poppy seeds is a different ingredient. I have never used them in my coleslaw I will have to try that.
