Kittencal's Famous Coleslaw Recipe #102617
This is the most delicious coleslaw that you will ever have! I make this for weddings, large socials and in the summer for BBQ's and parties, and there is never anything left it all goes and everyone wants the recipe --- plan ahead the coleslaw needs to be refrigerated for the stated time to blend the flavors, this coleslaw will intensify in flavor with chilling time --- this is not a thick heavy dressing like some other coleslaw recipes it's the perfect texture and flavor and what makes this coleslaw stand out from all others is the fresh lemon juice so please use only fresh I have used bottled in the past and it is just not the same, for extra flavor add in a chopped apple and toasted walnuts just before serving ----------- FOR BROCCOLI SLAW make dressing as stated, use 2 (16-ounce) packages broccoli coleslaw mix, 1-1/2 cups sweetened cranberries and 2 cups pistachio nuts
