Coleslaw is a perfect dish to take with on a picnic, or serve at a barbecue. It’s a great tailgate side and goes with just about any barbecued meat. And who doesn’t like coleslaw?
A bowl of coleslaw can be refreshing and delicious, but sometimes it gets kind of boring. I decided to add a little spunk to this one. I added some arugula and green onions, along with some different seasonings in the dressing. Arugula has a slightly nutty taste and the texture is different than cabbage, adding a little variety to this dish.
Here’s how you make the coleslaw:
Start by mixing up the dressing. Put all the ingredients in a small bowl and, using a wire whisk, mix until it’s fully blended.
Set aside.
Next put the coleslaw mix, the onions, and the chopped arugula into a large bowl.
Mix in the salad dressing and stir to completely cover all the pieces of cabbage and arugula. It’s the dressing that makes the slaw.
Add fresh cracked pepper and sea salt to taste.
Cover and put it in the refrigerator. Refrigerate four hours or overnight.
Serve cold and garnish with some cherry tomato halves.

A nice spin to the regular coleslaw!
I love coleslaw and your addition of arugula and the dressing are so tasty. Love this slaw when we bbq.
Delicious! I love the addition or the arugula against the cabbage and the dressing had a wonderful sweet and tangy flavor. I made this and it kept perfectly for the next four days, the flavor even got better as it sat. Thanks for this recipe!
