Southwestern Cole Slaw

When Summer arrives in Texas it is time to cool down and serve up cole slaw. More particularly, Southwestern Cole Slaw. While I like cole slaw that has a mayonnaise dressing, I prefer mine to have an oil and vinegar dressing. And, I especially like it to have just little kick.

Today, I am sharing my favorite cole slaw recipe, Southwestern Cole Slaw.

My ridiculously easy Southwestern Coleslaw is both sweet and tangy. I use an oil and vinegar dressing with lime juice and coconut sugar. This gives it a summer-perfect light flavor.

When I make a batch, I make a lot and then Mr. Seasoned Homemaker and I eat it during the week. It is perfect with lunch. On a hot Texas afternoon, it goes great with things like my Gluten-Free Crock Pot BBQ Pulled Chicken  or something off the grill.

Did you notice that I use Coconut Sugar instead of regular sugar. Coconut sugar has a low glycemic index number and is easier for your body to process. I highly recommend you give it a try. 

The longer it sits in the fridge the better it gets because it doesn’t have a mayonnaise base {although, I wouldn’t keep it past a week}.

Yum, yum, yum.
