Don't worry, we'll never share your email.Am I alone in thinking all coleslaw's were bathed in mayonnaise? I thought that for the longest time. How about you? But all coleslaws are not alike! Coleslaw can be so much more AND much better for you too!
I don't think Dan has ever met a coleslaw he doesn't like! (For those of you new to the blog, Dan is my hubby! 💑) If we are out for dinner I'd put money on him ordering coleslaw whenever it's available.
So just like Dan and I getting hitched - I married coleslaw and greek salad! (Yes, after I typed it, I realized how corny that sounds, but I'm going with it!)
Me, I like coleslaw too but I enjoy Greek salads and this is evidenced by some of the recipes I already have here on the blog like my Quinoa Greek Salad - so yummy! Or my classic Greek Salad recipe. Greek salad is so easy anyone can make it, you know this if you watched my Facebook live last week (shameless plug to get you to tune in Wednesdays at 2pm pacific time! 😂)
