Creamy Coleslaw With Bell Peppers & Red Onion

JackieOhNo!'s Note:

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.

• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 18

• 1 ½ teaspoons celery seeds
• 1 ¾ cups mayonnaise
• 6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• salt and black pepper , to taste

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, toss together all vegetables and celery seed.
2. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and pepper.
3. Toss together the vegetables and dressing until thoroughly combined. Taste and correct seasoning.
4. Refrigerate 30 minutes to let flavors blend. Serve.

I loved this recipe! So many coleslaw recipes are too sweet or have too much dressing--this one was just right. I served this on my pulled pork sandwich (Traditional Super Bowl Sunday Pulled Pork Sandwiches) and it was a terrific combo. My husband preferred his on the side but also thought it was delicious. I liked the addition of red bell pepper and the fact that buttermilk wasn't required for the dressing. This will be my go to recipe for coleslaw from now on. Thanks Jackie!
