It’s Game Day! This, of course, has me thinking about football food. What better to go with burgers and barbecue sliders than jazzed up Vegetable Dill Slaw, page 175 in Effortless Entertaining. This slaw was inspired by Gourmet Magazine and goes beyond the quick mayo, mustard, vinegar, and celery seed version I whip up on the fly. This might take a little more time, but worth every minute of extra chopping. Your fans will love it!
Go Panthers!

DeeDee’s Notes
- Recipe may be prepared up to 2 days in advance.
- Dressing makes more than is needed. After slaw has marinated in dressing, you may want to transfer mixture to serving bowl using a slotted spoon. Discard extra dressing.
- You may use prepackaged cabbage mix. I have also made this recipe without the tomatoes.
- Increases well.
