CREAMY COLESLAW WITH BELL PEPPERS & RED ONION



Creamy Coleslaw With Bell Peppers & Red Onion image

Although I usually think of coleslaw as a summertime side dish, it seems to go really well with my Super Bowl spread. I serve pulled pork with baked beans and some of this lovely, creamy coleslaw, then sit back and collect the compliments! Again, this makes a LOT, so adjust accordingly. This recipe is easily increased or decreased. Use a 16-ounce package of coleslaw mix for every six guests.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of bell peppers. This will give your slaw a more vibrant color and flavor. Some good options include red, orange, yellow, and purple bell peppers.
  • Shred your cabbage thinly. This will help it absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • Add some other vegetables to your slaw. Some good options include carrots, celery, and onions. This will add more flavor and texture to your slaw.
  • Make your own dressing. The dressing is what really makes this slaw special. You can use a store-bought dressing, but it's easy to make your own. Just whisk together some mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let your slaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and make the slaw even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Bell pepper slaw is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give bell pepper slaw a try.
