Crisp Cole Slaw

We spend the majority of our time out doors in the spring and summer and often are on the lake or out on the patio or porch for meals. One of the things I am always cautious about is the dairy product in the heat, that's one reason I just love this Cole Slaw, no dairy, so we don't have to worry about the heat spoiling the Cole Slaw.  This is a recipe that we have used for years and is in my cookbook Miz Helen's Kitchen Table.

  2. This looks so delicious - you had me at crisp, our Summer has started early and we'll be making more salads soon. Pinned! {I do not know what agave is and I am so glad you mentioned sugar as a substitute}. Hope you have a great weekend,

  8. Coleslaw with a vinaigrette dressing are my favourite (no creamy salad dressings for me). Looks delish!
