Coleslaw was one of my major obsessions when I was pregnant with my 2nd son Chase. I freaking loved the stuff so much I'd sit down with a big bowl for lunch.
How gross is that?
I never made my own dressing however I would buy the pre shredded cabbage mix, you know the kind with the overly dried carrot shreds in there as well? Mix with a big bottle of Hidden Vally slaw dressing and call it good.
Sometimes I kick myself for how long I will eat something processed until I try making it myself. It's usually so easy, and tastes a heck of allot better!
Then I'm like "WHY didn't I do this before?"
I can answer that...
Carrie your lazy and assume things are more time consuming then they actually are!
If you are one to buy the bottle stuff, try this it's really worth it!

So easy it's gotta be awesome... I'm a coleslaw junkie too... with and without pregnancy! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurie!
DeleteLove coleslaw! I have to admit though, I'm lazy and do use the bagged mix but I do make my own dressing and add in some other good stuff to liven it up. I like the look of your dressing!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! It's just so easy to use the bag mix!
DeleteI am sold! I don't make it at home, but religiously order it at every BBQ joint! But I guess it if is as easy as this, I don't have much excuse.
ReplyDeleteI order it all the time as well at any fried sea food/ bbq joint. One of my favorite parts of the meal!
DeleteIt's amazing what the addition of a little dill will do for cole slaw. I'm so happy you added it. :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh I have to use dill in all my salads. It gives it such a crisp fresh flavor that I have to have in the summer!
DeleteWe like coleslaw but usually I am lazy and just buy it from KFC!!! I'll have to give this one a go next time:-)
ReplyDeleteI just made this for a lobster bake and it is delicious! I love that it doesn't have vinegar. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed it! The lemon is so much more fresh!
