Spicy Ginger Coleslaw the perfect side for a BBQ!
One of my favorite Summer side dishes is Coleslaw! Unfortunately, quite often coleslaw can be boring. Average. Not worthy of seconds. Add some extra carrots, tart apple and the zing of fresh ginger, and Oh! let’s not forget the cayenne pepper, and you will be going back for thirds!!
Spicy Ginger Coleslaw
Light and flavorful this coleslaw has a kick of flavor that pairs well with any grill meat or fish. It's perfect for tacos, or to mound on top of pulled pork bbq.
Ingredients
- 1 14 ounce bag Coleslaw
- 1/2 Red Bell Pepper sliced thin
- 1 cup or half a bag matchstick Carrots
- 1 Granny Smith Apple shredded or any other tart variety
- 2 tablespoon fresh Ginger grated
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or granulated sugar
- 1/8-1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Coleman’s Mustard Powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine bag of coleslaw, matchstick carrots, shredded apple, and Red Bell Pepper cut into thin strips. Toss to combine.
- In a smaller bowl whisk together mayonnaise, grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, honey and seasonings. If you like spicy don't be afraid to add more cayenne, or more sweetener if you prefer a sweeter slaw.
- Pour dressing over slaw mixture, fold until combined. Give it a taste, add salt and pepper if you feel the need. Transfer to a smaller bowl and sprinkle with paprika for garnish. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Allow 15 minutes – 1 hour for flavors to meld together.
