Creamy Curry Coleslaw
Barbecue season is in full swing already , and it's always good to have a delicious side dish to serve along with your favorite BBQ. Coleslaw is one of my favorites, adding curry powder gives an Indian twist to a classic creamy coleslaw. It adds a mild and exotic spicy flavor (not hot) that is accented in the lightly sweet dressing.
This Creamy Curry Coleslaw is a blend of shredded cabbage, green onions, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and a touch of freeze dried strawberries making for the perfect sweet and savory coleslaw. It is low calorie, low fat, and low carb/keto friendly. Serve with your favorite grilled meats, turkey sandwiches, pulled pork, or make as a side with an Indian-inspired dinner (like the Tandoori Chicken, with Indian Spiced Biscuits I made). This coleslaw served with the Indian Spiced Biscuits makes a great vegetarian or vegan meal as well. We love dipping our biscuits right in the extra coleslaw dressing :)
