Classic Coleslaw with Attitude

Michael

Lots of crunchy, aromatic seeds and the pungent agrodolce bite of quick-pickled raisins elevate this coleslaw recipe from plain to brilliant. If you’re bringing it to a party, make sure to save some at home for yourself. You’ll want to put it on sandwiches and salads, or serve it alongside pork chops. Anna Thomas
