For maximum crunch, this zippy variation on classic coleslaw should be made no more than 2 hours before serving. The dish makes a fine companion to fried chicken or burgers.

Excellent with BBQ foodFirst time that I've ever made coleslaw, and it was very easy.
The recipe had to be altered to meet dietary requirements of a guest; No onion. Due to now Dijon on hand, I substituted 3 teaspoons of dry mustard, substituted balsamic vinegar for malt vinegar, and did not add the spicy mustard. Next time, I will offer crumbled bacon in a side cup for sprinkling on, so that it doesn't sit in any unused coleslaw and get soggy.
HUGE hit with the BBQ pig!

Blackberry Farm's Sweet and Spicy ColeslawI love coleslaw. I have tried and made many! Hands down one of the BEST or maybe THE BEST I have ever had. I mean...let me say there were fireworks! Everyone else loved it too. I will be making this one forever! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Amazing Flavour ComboThis was such a surprise. I figured it would be good, but it exceeded my expectaions. This is fantastic on its own or on a burger or in a wrap.
It does have a fairly strong onion flavour, so if that isn't your preference, you may want to cut it a bit. Also, you do need to drain this. I wouldn't skip that step. Othewise it gets soupy and eventually soggy and soft.
The dressing, before the veggies are added, is so terrific. The flavours blend beautifully. I am thinking that the dressing might be great as a burger sauce.
I recommend this and will be making it again.
