Chef notes
I love coleslaw, unless it's extremely saturated in dressing (no thanks). This recipe is light, vibrant and perfectly creamy while still maintaining a delicious crunch. It's great as a side, or on top of my slow-cooker pulled pork sandwiches (find the recipe here).
Technique tip: Toasting the almonds over a dry pan will improve the flavor and texture of the nut.
Swap option: If you have a nut allergy, you can certainly omit the almonds.
