Recipe video above. This Slaw is addictive! The combination of ingredients in this might seem surprising but the flavours work extremely well together. With a subtle, refreshing flavour yet somehow at the same time has that "juiciness" that we love about traditional mayo based Coleslaw. The flavour of the fennel and caraway seeds it quite subtle - in fact, many people don't even realise it's in there, they just know it's delicious!We love serving this refreshing salad with rich Southern Foods like Fried Chicken, Brisket, BBQ Chicken, Pork Ribs and BBQ Pulled Pork.

NANA'S SOUTHERN COLESLAW

Nana's Southern Coleslaw image

Just an old family recipe that I have been told is reminiscent of KFC coleslaw. You be the judge! To speed things up I sometimes just buy an already shredded bag of cabbage with carrots in it and then just chop it a little finer.
