Growing up, the only coleslaw I ever tried was soggy, super-sweet and drowning in sauce. I almost swore it off forever, but my husband’s love for Southern comfort foods – like this grain-free chicken fried steak and homestyle gravy – inspired me to give it another shot.
Crisp, fresh and tossed in a sauce that is sweet, creamy and light, this coleslaw recipe is now one of my – and my kids – favorite side dishes for picnic lunches and outdoor barbecues. Serve it up with slow cooker pulled pork sandwiches, grass-fed hot dogs, chicken nuggets or burgers. Enjoy!
