Looking for a Slaw Recipe to Serve with Those Burgers?

Wouldn’t you expect a salad recipe from Cat Cora, a Food Network Iron chef, to be incredibly complicated? That’s not the case with this people-pleasing salad.

I’ve whipped up this salad twice and been pleased with the results every time. Each bite has a little kick to it thanks to a splash of hot sauce. Just know your audience. If they don’t like heat, you might want to back down on the hot sauce. Her original recipe called for 3 tablespoons. Two was just enough for the folks at my house.

I prefer my first attempt which combined broccoli and cabbage in the bowl. Not everyone loves broccoli – even if it’s shredded – so the cabbage twist was more of a crowd pleaser.

Healthy cooking tip . . .

Trust your taste buds when whipping up a dressing for your salads. I didn’t find it necessary to add 1/2 cup of sugar to the dressing – 1/4 cup was enough for me. You might decide that you don’t need 1/3 cup oil, and a few tablespoons less works for you. Either way, you are saving calories by reducing the sugar or the fat.

Happy cooking!
