4-Ingredient Coleslaw

What’s better with a summer barbecue than a side of tangy, crunchy cole slaw?   This 4-ingredient Coleslaw recipe is quick and easy to make at home and complements barbecued steak, chicken, ribs or other meats so well.  It just feels like summer. 

For those of you doing a keto diet, you can make it keto friendly by substituting a couple packets of Splenda (or other sweetener) in place of sugar.  I’ve recently started using the broccoli slaw (also sold in bags) in place of the cole slaw mix, and combining it with the same dressing for a more “stick-to-your-ribs” version.
