I get SOOOO much cabbage in my CSA every year I am constantly making slaws - of all types. I really like the way the blue cheese sets a sharp tone against the slightly sweet mayo-y sauce. Perfect to go on a grilled steak sandwich. —meganvt01

Test Kitchen Notes

This is a nice twist on the 'standard' cole slaw. The tanginess of the apple cider vinegar and saltiness of the blue cheese work so nicely with the crunch of the cabbage. Very tasty, and a pitch-perfect summer side. —Victoria Ross

This is fabulous slaw! I decreased the amount of mayo quite a bit and kept it lighter. The leftover dressing is great on salads!
