Slaw, y’all. I think its a desert island food for me. I mean, who doesn’t want such a tantalizing combination of crunch, tang, creamy, and sweet? I can’t seem to get enough of it! Especially if there’s something grilled or smoked being served with it! This is my go to side if I am whipping up burgers or making pulled pork and it tastes even better the next day. A side dish that can be prepped before hand? I’m SOLD.
Feel free to play around with this! I love these simple classic flavors that bring me back to Texas (take a bite and close your eyes. Now, can’t you feel the heat, smell the brisket, and picture the two stepping?). Magical, how just a few ingredients can make such a delicious bite.
That being said, I sometimes throw in some shredded apples or fennel. Jalapeno is always an option that makes me happy. If you enjoy a sweeter slaw and are not restricting sugar, feel free to add honey or sugar to the dressing. I personally like the sweetness from the carrots. Same goes for the buttermilk option. If you aren’t dairy free, you may prefer buttermilk! Also, if you want to make your life easier, use pre shredded cabbage from a bag! I enjoy options almost as much as I enjoy slaw. If you are chopping your cabbage, cut off the stem on the end, cut the cabbage in half, then quarters, remove the core and then thinly slice each quarter into shreds.
Whatever method you choose of making this, get excited to have your taste buds rejoicing.
