It’s BBQ season and that means enjoying different sides at gatherings. This spicy creamy coleslaw is delicious and easy to throw together. It also is healthier than your traditional coleslaw that you might buy at the grocery store. This recipe is 2 Freestyle points per serving on WW.
One night last week, I wanted to make sliders, but I wanted to have a side dish with it. Since Fathers Day is coming up and we will be having a cookout, I wanted to try a coleslaw recipe. I have never tried to make coleslaw myself (we usually buy it from Publix but that isn’t possible on WW).
This recipe is so much healthier than the store bought versions and so freaking easy to throw together. The dressing is wonderful and gives it a little bit of extra spice, which I really loved. I went back for seconds and thirds that night and you will too.
My husband also really liked it, which I was a little nervous about. He loved the spice added by the stone ground mustard and black pepper and went back for seconds as well. Him getting seconds is something that doesn’t always happen!
To save you time, you can use the bagged coleslaw mix, or you can use a green cabbage and chop it up (that’s what I did). It was perfect and pretty easy to chop, but if you need to save some time, you can use the bagged version.
To make this spicy creamy coleslaw recipe:
Combine all the ingredients except the cabbage and carrots in a medium bowl. Add in the cabbage and carrots. Mix to combine. Season with more salt and pepper, if necessary, and serve immediately.
