Dijon Cider Coleslaw

I’m not a fan of milky, mayo-filled coleslaw. The coleslaw that I love is fresh and bright, a side dish that refreshes your palate!

This Dijon Cider Slaw is tossed in a slightly smoky apple cider vinegar & Dijon mustard vinaigrette that does exactly that – recharge your palate for your next bite into that burger, that lobster roll, that big pastrami sandwich, or those other picnic favs. Dig in!
