Are You A Coleslaw Snob Like Me?

This time of the year I am always looking for new side dishes to try for summertime. In my opinion, the best side dishes in the heat of the summer are cold dishes. Coleslaw is a very traditional dish that a lot of people add to their summer BBQ menu. Coleslaw is usually a big hit because most people enjoy coleslaw and it is easy to make or even purchase pre-made a the deli counter. Now, that all being said, I think I might be a slaw snob. I am very picky about coleslaw. It has to be crunchy and it has to be creamy, oh and not too much vinegar! Told you…I’m a slaw snob!
