A backyard barbecue doesn’t feel complete without a batch of fresh, colorful coleslaw. Known best as a cold salad made with cabbage and carrots, it’s delicious as both a side or atop a burger.
Expand your horizons from only mayo-based sauces to tangy vinegars and even yogurt! Adding veggies like radishes, bell peppers, and arugula will bring a bright bite to your creations.
