Summertime is a time for barbecues, potato and macaroni salad and, of course, coleslaw.
Coleslaw, if you’ve never heard of it is a cabbage and mayonnaise based dish.
When people are bringing something to a BBQ they think, “Oh, the same old potato salad and coleslaw,” but it doesn’t have to be that way!
Add a little cheese, corn, bleu cheese (maybe not in that order) to your coleslaw and make it the favorite dish at the next summer pot luck.
There are recipes for slaw that you put on a sandwich, use as a side, have as a snack or use to top your pulled pork BBQ.
These coleslaw recipes add a twist to the traditional BBQ side dish.
The following are the top ten coleslaw recipes that we found on Pintrest.
