Jalapeño Lime Slaw |
I’m so glad I went for it and tried a new one, because Ryan called
it the best cole slaw he’s ever had. Whoa. Ryan never complains
about what I make, but he rarely makes bold statements such as that! In other
words, I’ll probably never be making another cole slaw again!
It is pretty
perfect—crunchy and tangy and just spicy enough. Throw it on your pulled pork,
serve it alongside burgers and hot dogs, or bring it to your next potluck!
