In the late 1700s, the Dutch brought coleslaw to the United States. Hundreds of years later we’re still enjoying this simple side dish. Traditional coleslaw is made with shredded cabbage that’s seasoned and tossed with vinegar or mayonnaise sauce. It’s one of the easiest side dishes to make and goes great with barbecue, burgers, or a steak. We’re sharing 10 coleslaw recipes for summer cookouts. From classic coleslaw to a sugar-free version and a few with fruit, we guarantee there’s a slaw for everyone.
