This coleslaw is super easy to make especially if you own a mandolin, since it juliennes and shreds the cabbage and carrots super quick. I then used a mayonnaise, dijon and apple cider base then added a little Nature’s Seasons and a bit of cilantro to brighten things up.

    If I were to ever go on a diet I would have to avoid your blog like the plague. I don’t even like bleu cheese that much but this burger makes me wanna reconsider. Great post Derek!
