Buffalo Blue Cheese Coleslaw

Bold and zesty Buffalo Blue Cheese Coleslaw. A great way to boost your classic coleslaw recipe this season!

Crazy about coleslaw? Me too.

In fact, I feel I can judge the overall quality of barbecue restaurants by one bite of their coleslaw. If the coleslaw is good, I figure the restaurant has promise. However if the coleslaw is lacking, I determine they’ve cut corners in other areas as well.

Coleslaw is a very easy dish to make, so there’s really no excuse for getting it wrong.

For classic coleslaw, all you need is shredded cabbage (usually green and red,) shredded carrots, and a stellar dressing. The dressing can be mayonnaise based, vinegar based, or even red slaw made with a little ketchup.

However today’s Buffalo Blue Cheese Coleslaw recipe is elevated by a vibrant dressing, sliced celery, scallions, and crumbled blue cheese.

It’s perky, a touch spicy, and bursting with chunky appeal.

Buffalo Blue Cheese Coleslaw is a fabulous side dish for casual meals, and is also a dazzling topping for sandwiches.

Try adding it to burgers and pulled pork sandwiches!

To Make Buffalo Blue Cheese Coleslaw

Start by pouring cabbage coleslaw mix into a salad bowl. Add the celery, scallions, and crumbled blue cheese.

Then whisk together chunky refrigerated blue cheese salad dressing, cayenne pepper sauce like Frank’s RedHot, and a little honey.

Pour the dressing over the veggies and toss. That’s it!

Tons of flavor, and very little effort. Just the kind of recipe we love for summer.
