PALEO COLESLAW
I started off with the best of intentions with this coleslaw. I was going to buy the cabbage, carrots and bell pepper fresh and shred them all by hand. It was going to be a pain but I was going to do it darn it!!! And then I would proudly post my recipe and tell you all how great it was to prepare all of the vegetables by hand any how great it tasted.
Well that was what I told myself I was going to do, but as I passed by the packaged produce section, the pre-bagged coleslaw called out to me. So I grabbed two bags and went on my merry way. Some might call it lazy, but I call it being efficient. OK it was lazy, but in all fairness I am rarely lazy when it comes to preparing food, and it tasted awesome. So I forgave myself and went to town on some coleslaw.
This is a vinegar based coleslaw, not the mayo-based coleslaw that you might be used to. If you like it your coleslaw creamy, cut the dressing recipe below in half and mix in 1 cup of paleo mayonnaise.
