Sweet & Tangy Citrus Slaw
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure policy. This refreshingly bright and crunchy slaw is a great side dish to burgers or Sloppy Joe’s. Inspired by Aida Mollencamp’s Cabbage & Carrot Herbed Slaw on Chowhound, this side is refreshingly bright and crunchy. It’s a healthier alternative to mayo-laden versions and a perfect accompaniment to burgers or Sloppy Joes. Make it at least an hour or up to a day ahead of time, as the flavor and texture improve as it sits. And to make life easy, go ahead and buy the cabbage and carrots already shredded — I do. What you’ll need To Make Sweet & Tangy Citrus Slaw To begin, simply combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Toss well. Then cover the slaw and refrigerate at least one hour or overnight to allow the flavors to marry and the vegetables to soften. Serve cold and enjoy!
