Cole Slaw - German Potato Salad Style COLESLAW !!! A Bag of Coleslaw Upgrade

Pin It Now!

 Oh Boy Cole Slaw...

But not just any Cole Slaw, this has all the flavors of a classic German Potato Salad (without the potatoes).

A thick grainy mustard sauce, combines with tangy cider vinegar and of course Bacon (Everything's better with bacon!) is sweetened with brown sugar.  Yeap, all the good stuff that makes a German potato salad popular.

This summer I have an obsession.  Earlier this year my wife (non-cook that she is) was asked to make a cole slaw for a back yard neighborhood BBQ.  She bought the convenient pr-mixed bag but was shocked to discover no recipe on the bag.  Turns out that Cole Slaw can be as simple as mixing in a little Mayo to as complicated as this recipe.

SO, once again I have made a few additions, subtractions, deconstructions, etc.  And came up with a recipe anyone would be proud to take to the neighbors.

After all, it's just cole salw.  May as well make yours something special!

So, keep scrolling down for the recipe.  And as always... ENJOY!

 OK... Here's what I did...
