We tasted this slaw at Kroger and loved it. It's even better with the addition of onion. We made it the first time for Emily & Matt's 2015 Summer Kick-Off Cookout.
Ingredients
  • 1 pkg. cole slaw mix (16 oz.)
  • ½ tsp. seasoned salt
  • ½ cup Honey Mustard dressing
  • 3 Tbsp. Sriracha pepper sauce (or to taste)
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup green onion tops or chives, sliced
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients, refrigerate, and enjoy.
Notes
I want to try this recipe, substituting broccoli slaw mix, Trader Joes's cruciferous mix, or perhaps mixing several kinds of cruciferous vegetables.

*a note from Emily* It keeps getting better with age (like pickles!), and won't spoil since there's no mayo.

This is my own twist on my step-other Sharon's Pea Salad. I still make it every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Ingredients
  • 2 cans small/early peas (drained)
  • 1 can diced pimentos (drained)
  • 1 medium red onion (chopped)
  • 1 bag of cubed colby jack cheese
  • pepperoncini (or banana pepper) rings
  • Miracle Whip
  • coarse ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Add as many pepperoncini peppers as you like - it will make the mix hotter, so use your judgement. Scoop in Miracle Whip and gently fold in until the mix is moistened throughout. Allow to chill for a few hours before serving.
Notes
This recipe tastes best if made 2-3 days before you serve it. If you don't like the tang of miracle whip, substitute half with mayo. You can also add a small splash of the pepper juice to kick it up a notch. If you like hard boiled eggs, they are a great addition.
