Cajun Spiced Slaw

·

This creamy coleslaw is delicious on its own and is perfect on a Po’ Boy sandwich. This simple side dish is easy to make and using the prepackaged mix makes it even simpler. When you salt the cabbage it releases some of it’s water, allowing the dressing to get absorbed and really cling to the slaw. If you are making the remoulade sauce for the Po’ Boy, just double it and add that to the slaw with a tablespoon of apple cider venegar
