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 Mardis Gras slaw is one of the slaws that changed my mind about slaws.
A Wonderful Twist On A Classic Slaw
This recipe for Mardis 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.
Also try my bacon ranch slaw.
