Whether you call it coleslaw or cold slaw, a picnic isn’t a picnic without a big bowl of it next to the burgers and hot dogs.
The name comes from the Dutch word “koolsla” which means “cabbage salad” but recipe comes from Ireland where it was first made from leftover vegetables and cream. Recipes for coleslaw are as varied as reasons for a summer picnic. Here are some of my favorites.
