Tangy Coleslaw Camp Recipe
Tangy Coleslaw Recipe
Tossing a bit of cabbage with a prepared dressing is the easiest side dish you could imagine for your next camping trip. Making a fresh dressing is almost as easy, lots healthier and way tastier than using a store-bought dressing. I like to mix this tangy coleslaw recipe at home and toss with veggies at the campsite. The sugar makes this dressing slightly sweet while the horseradish gives it a surprising tangy punch. It is a great flavor to combine with a sweeter main dish like BBQ ribs because it provides a nice balance of flavors. Oh the tang of horseradish … there is nothing quite like it. Here’s how you make it, serves about 6. Psst we’re compensated…see our disclosures.

Rubbermaid Easy Find Lid Food Storage Container, BPA-Free Plastic, 42-Piece set
Making this Tangy Coleslaw Recipe Slaw Dressing at home is easy, just transport to the campsite in a food storage container with a tight fitting lid and then toss with shredded cabbage at the campsite a few hours before your meal. Having various sizes of food containers in a set helps to eliminate excess bulk while packing because you can use the perfect size of container for the quantity of food you are transporting. I also love the “nesting” capacity of these containers for bringing the empties back home.

Igloo Ice Cube Roller Cooler (60-Quart, Ocean Blue)
We love using our Ice Cube Roller Cooler to transport cold food items to our campsite! It has a push button locking telescopic reinforced tow handle and durable wheels so you can easily move a heavy cooler. We also love the side scoop handles for getting a good grip when lifting the cooler. Once at the campsite, we use ours as a “side table with drink holders” set between our camp chairs. It’s perfect for keeping this Tangy Coleslaw Recipe cold along with your favorite sodas and brews!

16 oz package pre-shredded coleslaw mix (if you would rather shred it yourself, it’s about a 1.5 pound head of cabbage)

Fresh cracked black pepper – to taste

This camping plate is the picture-perfect vessel to enjoy this Tangy Coleslaw Recipe and hearty sandwich for dinner!
