Summer Cole Slaw Recipe

I am so happy to share with you a favorite from The Biggest Loser Cookbook series!  This amazing recipe Slimmer Summer Slaw was prepared by the black team in season 12 during a cooking challenge.  When I saw it, I knew I wanted the recipe and I am very excited to be sharing it with you.

Summer Cole Slaw Dressing

I love this slaw, I make an entire recipe and a double batch of the dressing every time (I like the dressing on regular salad too). There is just enough creaminess from the sour cream to keep it from being a vinaigrette, with the perfect tang from the vinegar and warm nuttiness from the sesame oil. It is a home run!!!

Helpful Tips to make Summer Cole Slaw:

• Double the dressing, trust me it is so good you will find things to put it on.
• You can use mayonnaise, Greek yogurt or sour cream in the dressing.
• Keep the dressing seperate until ready to serve. I like to keep it in a mason jar.

What you will need to make Summer Cole Slaw:

• Sharp knife or mandolin – A sharp knife or mandolin is always a necessity when slicing cucumbers.
• Cutting board – A high quality cutting board comes in handy when prepping this salad.
• Mixing bowls – Combine all of the ingredients for this salad in a large mixing bowl.
• Bamboo Salad Hands 

Enjoy!
