I’ve never been a fan of coleslaw until I made this one.  There are so many flavors that calm the cabbage.  The almonds, Craisins, peppers and green onions give it a crazy crunch.  This recipe yields a colorful coleslaw which makes a pretty presentation for all those back yard barbeques and garden parties ya’ll have planned this summer.  So give slaw one more chance with this recipe.  Chances are – you will be won over!

• 1 16 oz package of coleslaw mix (I like the Kroger brand with purple cabbage ‘cuz its pretty)
• 1 cup toasted slivered almonds
• 1 small package or about 1 ½ cups Craisins (dried cranberries)
• 2 stalks finely diced celery
• 1 small green pepper chopped and diced
• 1 bunch chopped green onions (whites and greens)

Dressing:

• ½ cup Hellman’s Mayo
• ½ cup honey mustard dressing (I like O’Charley’s)
• 2 Tablespoons sweet pickle relish
• 2 Tablespoons honey
• Salt and Pepper to taste

This coleslaw can be made a day ahead of serving.  I mix and store the chopped and diced veggies in a zip lock bag until meal time.  The dressing can be made up early too, then poured over the bagged ingredients right before serving.
