There are as many versions of coleslaw as there are neighborhood cookouts, but a traditional recipe often seems to be the party favorite. This coleslaw recipe has a tangy, sweet, and creamy dressing made of mayo, sugar, vinegar, and celery seed. Feel free to experiment a bit with the amounts of sugar and vinegar in the recipe to get the balance of flavors to your liking. This is an excellent coleslaw to fix for a cookout served alongside baked beans and other salads. It is also great as a condiment for barbecue sandwiches; pile a few tablespoons of coleslaw on a pulled pork sandwich or even a hot dog. It is also perfect with fried fish or seafood and a side of crispy french fries. You may also want to try it on fish tacos.
