Caesar Coleslaw

In this recipe, coleslaw meets Caesar salad for a new take on the classic creamy side dish. They’re really a natural fit for each other. Both are crunchy salads coated in mayonnaise based dressings.

To make this coleslaw Caesar-style, I’ve added minced anchovies, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and garlic to a mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream. Parmesan cheese really ups the flavor and grape tomatoes and green onions add color while croutons sprinkled on top add crunch and a little texture contrast.

Psst. You can’t really taste the anchovies and if you have members of your family who dislike anchovies, just don’t tell them they’re there and they’ll never know. It will be our little secret 😉

In my opinion, coleslaw is one food that must be homemade. Store bought coleslaw is wretched for the most part. Although, I will admit I enjoy a couple of bites of KFC coleslaw every now and then. But I don’t really think of it as coleslaw. It’s more like sugary crunchy stuff.

At a picnic or BBQ, coleslaw hardly ever stands out from the crowd, but this Caesar Coleslaw will. It’s a little something different with a kick from the Parmesan and garlic. Any Caesar Salad fan will enjoy it whether they are a fan of coleslaw or not.

I think I like this Caesar Coleslaw even more than regular coleslaw. It would be a great accompaniment to a Bloody Mary Skirt Steak or hamburgers. And if you’re looking for more interesting coleslaw recipes, try this Pineapple Macadamia Coleslaw. I love it on grilled chicken sandwiches.
