This is one of my favorite salads to make for a crowd. It is so simple, but it tastes really “special.” The combination of the blue cheese, with the sweet cranberries, and the crunch of the onions and cabbage, it works well!
We like to eat smoked and BBQ’d meats at my house, this salad is a great way to switch up the normal cole slaw, it’s a bit more “grown up” tasting too! Did I mention it keeps well in the refrigerator? Make it in the morning and then just pull it out of the fridge at dinner time, so easy!
This recipe features my Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing, have you tried it yet? Not only does this dressing work great on cole slaw, it is lovely on any green salad, especially one that includes fruit or strong cheese (like blue, feta, or gorgonzola.)
As crock pot season comes blowing in, try this salad paired with my BBQ Beef Sandwiches!
