My creamy coleslaw is the good old traditional coleslaw inspired by the Quebec cafeterias we all loved as kids. But slightly elevated to make it really interesting. I kept the classic base (cabbage, carrots, creamy mayo dressing) then added a Granny Smith apple for the tangy side and some celery for even more crunch. The result crushes cafeteria versions: it’s a really really good salad that brings freshness, color and crunch to all your BBQ plates.<\/p>\n
The Granny Smith apple is what transforms my version from an ordinary coleslaw into a truly memorable side dish. Its natural acidity perfectly balances the richness of the creamy dressing, and its firm, crispy texture survives the fridge marinade without getting soft. Combined with finely sliced celery and the green + red cabbage mix for visual appeal, you have a coleslaw that pops with every bite. A good salad that crushes any other coleslaw you’ve ever eaten.<\/p>\n
It’s just another good coleslaw to serve for your summer BBQs. You can bring it out for pretty much any grilled protein: ribs, chicken skewers, burgers, filet mignon, pulled pork sandwich or even homemade fish and chips. The tangy creamy dressing pairs with everything, and the generous volume (enough to feed 6 to 8 people) lets you serve it at big family Saturday night dinners. Generously salted and peppered, it’s non-negotiable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
