Oil and Vinegar Slaw


Tonight for dinner I made our favorite Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches.  We love these with a good tangy slaw on top of the sandwich to give some nice crunch and a bit of texture.  I have never been 100% crazy about a mayo-based slaw.  Some are delicious and others are just yuck.  More often then not I feel like they are on the yuck-side.  It seems like they are just full of soggy mayo and not enough actual flavor.  So when I saw this recipe from Rachael Ray for a Oil and Vinegar Slaw I was immediately intrigued.  I love a good vinegar slaw but had never made one on my own.  This one was very simple, using ingredients that are always in your pantry and packed a ton of flavor.  It was the perfect accompaniment for the tangy chicken sandwiches.  We both gave this recipe a thumbs up, definite do again.
