With summer upon us here and picnics in our future the worry of keeping foods in the heat from spoiling is on my mind. Salads and slaws really bother me since we recently had a food poisoning scare and I don’t want to repeat it! My answer to this problem is vinegar based cole slaw instead of using a mayonnaise or dairy recipe. This quick and healthy option is just what I needed. And the fact it tastes great is a clear win win for my family. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

July 12, 2016 at 5:54 PMI love a great vinegar slaw, and I will be trying your version. We eat vinegar slaw on tacos, fish tacos especially. You can add fresh ginger or sesame oil to change the taste, and a squeeze of lime too. I love all types of slaw, but I would say we eat the vinegar kind most often!
Marilyn
July 12, 2016 at 7:51 PMIt is the most healthy! Hope you are well.

Kathleen
July 10, 2016 at 6:09 PMThis sounds perfect and so much safer than the mayo based slaw in the hot summer months. I’m so sorry that you got food poisoning. I have had that in the past a few times and it is horrible. Thank you for linking up to Tips and Tricks. Hope to see you again this week.
Marilyn
July 11, 2016 at 3:04 PMThank you Kathleen. I do prefer the vinegar in the summer. I hate throwing away food when I am not sure if its safe.

Wendy
July 8, 2016 at 10:17 AMThis looks yummy, Marilyn! I love a good coleslaw. I have my MIL’s recipe that we all enjoy, but it is a sweet vinegar sauce. I’m going to try this one next time for a change. Pinning! 🙂
Marilyn

July 7, 2016 at 10:30 PMHi Marilyn, we love coleslaw and I make it weekly, but I had not thought of adding a mustard, that sound like a change up I will give it a try, we like our tart sweet sometimes with may and others with a oil dressing.
Thanks for stopping by this week on #OMHGFF
Hope you will enjoy your weekend!
Marilyn
July 8, 2016 at 7:30 PMIt adds a bit of zing to the sweet and tart flavors. I hope you like this version!
Sara
July 7, 2016 at 2:51 PMYUMMM. My mom makes a cole slaw just like this and it just brings back so many memories. I love this instead of the thick and creamier cole slaws. I don’t think I’ve ever had a version with mustard, so I need to try this asap because mustard is my favorite!!

July 7, 2016 at 7:25 PMI love dishes that bring back memories. My tips are from my gram’s old cookbook!
Linda
July 7, 2016 at 2:23 PMI’ll be leaving two comments so far today, one on the party and this delicious recipe.
I can’t eat “creamy” coleslaw, I use to love it but now my digestive system tells me no. We had a restaurant in my small hometown that made the BEST coleslaw. The recipe was secret and if everyone that worked there keep it that way. As with all small towns the restaurant is no longer in business but I found it will have to make it this summer.
Since I love coleslaw I’ will make this!
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Linda
Marilyn
July 7, 2016 at 7:24 PMI m glad to hear Linda! Never feel obligated to lways comment. A nice smilie is good also!
