Mardi Gras Slaw

I’m a huge fan of anything slaw. It’s kinda odd since when I was growing up I couldn’t stand slaw at all. Now, slaw is the one thing I almost always order when eating out. I often make it when cooking at home. And slaw isn’t just a wonderful side. It’s fantastic on top of hot dogs, hamburgers, and best of all, pulled pork or smoked brisket sandwiches. This colorful Mardi Gras slaw is one of the slaws that changed my mind about slaws.

A Wonderful Twist On A Classic Slaw

This recipe for Mardi Gras slaw comes from Marguerite at Cajun Delights, my favorite place for all thing Cajun, from food to music.

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Charleston-Style Coleslaw

Citrus in a slaw (and even a potato salad) can really change how it tastes, giving it a lighter, summer-like feel. The addition of a sweet onion also makes this Charleston-style coleslaw different than your traditional mayonnaise-based slaw. I like the crunch of the Vidalia sweet onion and the crispness of the cabbage and carrots in the slaw. But if Vidalia onions aren’t in season, just substitute regular ole sweet onion.

A Different Approach To Slaw

Add a few minced jalapenos for a little extra kick in your Charleston-style coleslaw. And for a sweeter variation, add a small can of drained pineapple chunks. Small apple pieces would add a nice crunch and flavor too.
