Cole Slaw

My mom made this when I was a kid and my sister and I loved it so much we would eat it with yellow corn tortilla chips as a snack. Everyone thinks they have the best recipe of potato salad and cole slaw right? Well this one is the best. I promise you!

Thankfully my mom dislikes miracle whip just like me so this is not a sweet version by any means! It’s savory and slightly tart just like I like it.

Cole slaw goes so well with so many things because it provides a crunchy texture to items like chili, rice and beans or even a soft taco with pulled pork or fried fish.

Try it instead of your side of green salad and you might be surprised how well it pairs!
