A Different Kind of Coleslaw

As featured in The Applegatarian.

"This recipe came from a friend of 36 years who passed away far too early in a car accident. Ron had a 190-acre farm in Georgia, and I have fond memories of sitting on his farmhouse deck and eating wonderful Southern meals. This delicious coleslaw was often part of these meals."

Bob Dixon, Applegate Senior Regional Sales Manager
