About

Can you truly have a picnic without a coleslaw? Maybe, but we all know it wouldn't be the same! Picnic Slaw is classic coleslaw made simple. The cabbage is sweet and crisp, especially alongside the garden-fresh green bell peppers and juicy tomatoes, and summery cucumbers. The sauce is tangy and sweet, adding another layer of refreshment to this cool dish. Picnic Slaw just needs to be served on a blanket to feel complete!
