Special coleslaw

It is coming to the season of BBQ’s and salads and nothing is more popular than a big bowl of coleslaw. Coleslaw traditionally means “cabbage salad” and is primarily made of shredded raw cabbage, shredded carrots, and other fruits and vegetables, then tossed in a light mayonnaise. This recipe however, puts a little extra pizazz into the side dish and includes a few extra ingredients that make all the difference.
