Our family loves cold salad and coleslaw recipes! This is one area where my girls have no reservations when trying out something new. I would say about 95% of the cold salads that we have tried have been winners with both girls too – which is definitely not the case with other categories. This BLT Slaw recipe is no exception. How can you go wrong when you add bacon to something?!

I love this recipe because it’s quick and easy. It’s becoming a go-to when we have unexpected guests for a cookout or we get invited to a last minute meal with friends & family. It goes perfect with your favorite BBQ recipe or you can even toss it on your hamburger! 
This recipe holds up fairly well in the refrigerator too. I may even try making this up ahead of time to take along on our next camping trip. I think it would taste great with burgers and mixed veggies on the grill.
