Coleslaw

Here is an easy recipe for a quick slaw to top fish tacos, pulled pork, or to use as a side.  Coleslaw is a nice way to balance a heavy or fatty entree and add fresh and tangy flavor.  This is the coleslaw I used to top my Potato Chip Crusted Fish Tacos.  The recipe comes together pretty easily, especially if you have a food processor to make quick work of shredding the carrot and cabbage.  If you don’t, don’t worry, you can use a cheese grater or just a knife.  If you want a shortcut, buy a bag of coleslaw and just make the dressing recipe below.  I would make this at least an hour before you serve it, or even the day ahead.
