The Best Coleslaw Recipe I Ever Made
Coleslaw, Cole slaw or Slaw depending on your neck of the woods is by far one of the top side dishes for BBQ and Grilling when you are Cooking Outdoors. I personally have tried many different coleslaw recipes, some good some bad. My personal preferences run towards the dry cole slaw recipes, I am not a big fan of heavy mayonnaise coleslaw sauce. This recipe has received multiple thumbs up from friends and family with a universal “refreshing” taste response. I kept it very simple, so it will be lighting fast to make for your next BBQ or Grilling adventure.

Fresh sliced cucumber. 1/4 inch slices.
