I love a good ole super-crunchy coleslaw. Like grandma would make. Or buy in the grocery store. And it has to be super-cold, too. served right out of the fridge. This country coleslaw is a simple dish that satisfies my slaw needs, but with a twist (for me, at least) and that’s pickle relish. I’ve never had sweet pickle relish (or any relish) in a slaw before. It adds a fantastically different flavor and tang to the slaw. It makes this salad a real winner!
Spice It Up!
This country coleslaw is a little sweet. If you want to liven it up a bit, add a little chopped jalapeno (just seed it first). Grandma might not like that, so you can always serve the jalapeno on the side and let people embellish theirs as they wish.
You can substitute that bagged shredded slaw mix for the cabbage and carrot to save yourself some time. You’ll need a 14-ounce bag to equal the head of cabbage.
Also try my good ole roadside BBQ shack coleslaw!
