This recipe for coleslaw I developed this year (early spring 2019). We originally were serving a mayonnaise based coleslaw using purple cabbage, and although it looked very cool on our Georgia turkey sandwich, I wasn’t happy how it looked as a side item. I wanted something that not only tasted good with our house roasted turkey but something that was a great side as well. The combination of sweet and savory is a signature feature in most coleslaw recipes and I wanted something with a little more tooth to it.
Around thanksgiving last year my sister made an AMAZING coleslaw. It had cranberries and the maple dressing made it warm and slightly sweet. I adapted her recipe to the ingredients we have at the restaurant, and so far, it has been a hit!
