A staple of summertime picnics, deli platters, and more, coleslaw is a delightfully zingy accompaniment to a number of different meals.

Of course, there are plenty of ways to boost the flavor of your coleslaw for an even more pleasing dish.
The salad incorporates summer's essence with fresh, flavorful ingredients, making it ideal for casual gatherings. It requires minimal cooking, fitting perfectly into a summer lifestyle.
