One of many things I love about Summer is switching it up a bit with sides to our dinners! I try to keep from cooking the same meals over and over, but our side dishes tend to always be rice and steamed vegetables or potatoes and a salad. We do keep it exciting though with multiple kinds of rice and potatoes cooked different ways (are you catching the clever sarcasm accompanying that sentence?) 🙂 One dish in particular I’ve been wanting to try is coleslaw; a perfect side for those Summer BBQ dinners on the deck!
I don’t know what it is, but I love eating outside; nice weather just makes everything more enjoyable. And you know what? The family seems to stick around at the dinner table a little while longer when we eat outside 🙂 We really enjoyed this recipe and it’s one I’ll make again before the Summer is over. I also plan to make this next time we have shredded BBQ chicken sandwiches, because my husband and I both agreed topping our sandwich with this coleslaw would be a delicious experience!
Next on the list is a refreshing broccoli salad made with broccoli, cauliflower and carrots tossed in a greek yogurt honey dressing so stay tuned, but enjoy this recipe in the meantime 🙂
