Traditional Coleslaw, With a Twist

A little crunchy, a little creamy, a little sweet and even tangy, this Creamy Coleslaw with Raisins is a nice change from the classic.

This Creamy Coleslaw with Raisins is actually very similar to classic creamy, mayonnaise-based coleslaw and you could just leave the raisins out, if you like. But we like that they add sweetness and chewiness that offsets smoky flavors from foods coming off the grill.

This coleslaw is just perfect with hot dogs, burgers and chicken fresh off of the grill!

From Scratch – Or Buy Pre-Shredded

Shredding the cabbage by hand might seem like a chore to some – and you can find pre-shredded cabbage and carrots and even coleslaw mixes already prepared in plastic bags in the produce section of most large supermarkets.

Read the labels.

If they are just the vegetables, without any additives, why not give that a go if you are short on time. That said, we love going to the farmers market and choosing fresh vegetables or even going into our own garden, if we are so lucky. The crispness and freshness is incomparable.
