Tangy apple coleslaw

Last time I made the crockpot BBQ shredded chicken I used this amazing coleslaw as the side. BBQ tends to be a little sweet because of all the sugar in the sauce, so something tangy is the perfect accompaniment.

I’m not a fan of the overly soupy commercially made coleslaws so I was excited to discover the dressing for this was the perfect amount.

Its a simple mix of mayo, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and a little sugar.

I could have bought heads of cabbage but who wants to deal with chopping up that mess? Buy the bagged stuff, you’ll thank me later.

While coleslaw is generally thought of as a picnic type food I feel like the addition of the apple makes this a perfect fall side dish. Yum!
