What’s In Your Coleslaw?
Coleslaw is one of those staple side dishes that most everyone has tried at some point in their life. It can range widely different, depending on where you find yourself in the world. That being said, we have tried many different types of coleslaw over the years, and this version is by far our favorite on the list.
Full transparency, this was a collaboration recipe with my husband, who grew up in North Carolina. For those of you who aren’t familiar with North Carolina coleslaw, it relies primarily on vinegar and olive oil as it’s base, instead of mayonnaise, which in turn sets the stage for a much healthier version of coleslaw.
We added our own personal twists to this classic recipe by adding local honey, dijon mustard parsley from the garden, and a little purple cabbage and for a fun pop of color.
