Summer’s nearly here, and one of my favorite side dishes is coleslaw – it’s all about the coleslaw. I love it – so creamy, salty, and crunchy. But, I might as well just slather it all over my hips, ‘cuz that’s where it’s heading after I eat it! But, then I was watching Robin Miller’s cooking show on the Food Network one day, and she presented a version I couldn’t resist. It's much lighter, nutritionally, than the traditional recipe, and the flavors explode in your mouth.
Blue Cheese Coleslaw
Serves 6 (1 cup each)
3 T cider vinegar
2 T olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ C raisins
¼ C crumbled blue cheese
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 package coleslaw mix
In small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, and mustard. Stir in the raisins and the blue cheese. Season with salt and pepper and toss with the packaged coleslaw mix in a large bowl.

This is fabulous with barbecue, pizza, burgers, or anything you can think of – even by itself.
Marble Man once told me he loves when I go on a diet because we eat so well when I do. :)

THIS is a version of coleslaw I can actually make for my husband - the mayo hater! I know he'd LOVE this!
thanks. :)
Hello Kate,
This is an awesome recipe I have to try!

Coleslaw is one of my favorite foods....I'm quite the snob. I love this version but never make it (enjoy it at other's homes) because my Beloved detests blue cheese. : (
Can I come over?!
Yo could probably use any type of cheese, if you don't like blue - I bet feta would be great in it!
There's plenty for everyone - come on over! :)

Kate,
I love blue cheese and I love coleslaw! Yum Yum Yum! This one is for me!
this looks especially wonderful! i think that i've also seen ina garten add blue cheese to her cole slaw ("how bad can that be", right?!). i love the thought of raisins in this...anything to get a little sweet into it! btw...the faux french toast is a definite winner...it's unbelievable how much it really tastes like french toast!! wa-hoo!! :)
Sounds amazingly delicious!!!
Your blog looks wonderful. I must ask if you figured out how to use both side bars of blogger yourself, or if you had help. I have so little time to figure these things out. I manipulated the html a bit, but I dare not do too much. I have no idea what I'm doing.
I love blue cheese! I just saved this recipe. It looks wonderful. Thanks again for sharing, Kate!
Hugs!
Nancy
