Football season is here and that means that the halftime party brings food. Each week, I look for fun filled ideas to make the games fun for my son, Garrett. He loves Alabama football and the Atlanta Falcons, so needless to say, the weekends are packed with fun, food and football! Welcome fall!
This past weekend, it was meat and potatoes, a manly kind of snack buffet turned into a supper since the game was mid-afternoon. As a side and to top the turkey burger sliders, we had homemade slaw. It would have been easier to just buy and container of slaw, but, one, it is cheaper to make your own, and two, it make a whole lot more when you do.
You will need at least 4 cups of shredded cabbage, carrots, onion and whatever more you want in your slaw. I know that you can also purchase pre-shredded slaw mix at some produce sections of grocers too. This dressing is really good and could be used on salads as well. It will keep in the fridge for about a week if you want it for another meal.
Sweet Coleslaw Dressing Recipe
1 cup of vegan or fat-free mayonnaise
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
1 tablespoons of sugar or sugar substitute
1 1/2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon of lemon (more if you family likes lemon)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon of sea salt
1 package of Hidden Valley Ranch mix (one of my favorite)
Mix thoroughly together and pour over cabbage.
Stir the cabbage making sure it is coated completely with the dressing.
Enjoy...
My mother use to make a mayo dressing slaw, but then we would get a vinegar based slaw at one of our favorite BBQ restaurants. It is interesting the different ways you can have something so simple as slaw. I loved it on hot dogs as a kid too. Sneaking cabbage into salads and soups is a great way to get my family to eat it and experience the freshness of that vegetable. It is crunchy and vibrant without all the sweetness of a dressing...however, it is nice to have the option once in a while of something a bit different and a bit fun. Enjoy...
