If you’re like me, you are hanging on to every bit of summer. I wanted to make a coleslaw recipe that sings of summer. Bright, cheerful, and refreshing.

I also wanted to make a Jerk Turkey Burger and knew this would pair perfectly.

It’s a Win-Win!

You need a rainbow of colors for this Caribbean inspired coleslaw! With that comes a wonderful variety of textures and bright flavors.

You can mix and match the ingredients you include in this slaw. I knew I wanted to include mango to give it the Caribbean vibe. I also wanted the crunch that shredded carrots deliver.

The Caribbean Coleslaw Ingredients

• Green cabbage
• Purple cabbage
• Red bell pepper
• Mango
• Shredded carrots
• Jalapeno

For the Citrus Dressing I used mayonnaise as my base. You could certainly go with a more tangy vinegar based dressing. The fresh orange juice really adds the citrus pop.

The Citrus Dressing Ingredients

• Mayonnaise
• Apple cider vinegar
• Orange juice
• Dash of hot sauce
• Salt & pepper

This citrus dressing is light with bright bursts of orange flavor. You can adjust the hot sauce to give it a little kick.

This is meant to be a quick & easy slaw. Nothing fancy, but really pretty with the rainbow of colors.

The Method

• Shred or fine dice ingredients
• Toss with dressing
• Serve

Because sometimes simple is all you need!

Whether you’re topping your Jerk Turkey Burger or Pulled Pork Sandwich, a good coleslaw recipe can be a game-changer!

Happy National Tater Tots Day.

All the best things about a hash brown patty in pop-in-your-mouth bite sized bundles. What’s not to love?!!

Now invite smooth and creamy Homemade Queso Dip to the party and you’ve got one happy family!

Queso Ingredients

Restaurant quality homemade white queso dip (Queso Blanco) is super easy to make at home. Just three main ingredients.

• white American cheese
• milk
• butter
• plus a dash of cumin and garlic powder
• and you’ll be dipping chips or better yet Tater Tots!

We like to serve them with diced fresh jalapeño and tomato and a sprinkle of cilantro on top.

As teenagers whenever we were allowed to have “a party” the number one requested snack was Tater Tots. It’s still a family favorite side dish at our house.

I found this article – The Tater Tot is American Ingenuity at its Finest, which tells the colorful story of how Golden TATER TOTS™ got their start back in the mid-1950’s.

It’s crazy to think that today Americans consume nearly 4 billion tots annually. That’s over 100 per person. Not gonna lie, I’m pulling my weight here :) especially when they’re dipped in queso dip!
