Today is the Chamber's Annual Meeting and DH told me that "he'd" been asked to bring a salad for it. (Board members usually provide the side dishes.) When he told me this on Sunday, I knew exactly what I was going to make - my Spicy Coleslaw.
I make this throughout the year because it is so simple and so good! I'm not fond of mayo-based slaws, so when I found this recipe several years ago I was thrilled. It sounds like a whole lot of pepper, but, trust me - this slaw rocks!
Spicy Coleslaw
1 16 oz. package of coleslaw mix
5 green onions, chopped
2/3 cup olive oil (Important - use the good stuff for this!)
1/4 cup white vinegar (I've used wine vinegar and tarragon vinegar also)
1/4 cup water
1 large clove of garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Whisk together the dressing and pour it over the cabbage and onions. The longer it sits the better it gets. Enjoy!

I am going to try this, I am not fond of the mayo slaws either and I love pepper.
I, too, am not a fan of mayo-based coleslaw. And in general, I'm not a coleslaw gal. Most of the time it's too sweet for me. However, I love cabbage, and any variation on the traditional slaw is welcome. And I think I'll give this one a try!
Hi I.G.W. and Mari - I agree about the sweet coleslaw as well, Mari. I was skeptical about the amount of pepper in this recipe and it really works. I hope you ladies give it a try and like it.
Hi Sally - this sounds great. It is definitely going to be on my table at some time over Easter.
