    • Diced red onion
    • Blue cheese dressing

    1. Combine shredded carrots, diced red onion, and blue cheese dressing in a mixing bowl.

    3. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired. I always like a little fresh cracked pepper on mine. Refrigerate the slaw until it’s time to eat.

    FAQs for this recipe

    What ingredients can you add to coleslaw?

    There are so many other ingredients you can add to this blue cheese slaw. Here are some ideas: bacon, diced apple, blue cheese crumbles, grape tomatoes, celery, red cabbage, sunflower seeds.

    Can you make coleslaw ahead of serving?

    Yes. For easy assembly, prep the ingredients the day before and combine with the dressing on the day you will eat the slaw. For a short cut, use pre-packaged slaw.

    This creamy blue cheese slaw will last in the fridge for about 3 days.

    What do you serve with coleslaw?

    Summer recipes and cookout food go very well with coleslaw. Serve this on recipe with sous vide burgers, crispy buffalo chicken wraps, sous vide pulled pork, and on the side of sous vide wings or air fryer chicken wings.

    What type of blue cheese dressing do you use?

    You can find the best blue cheese dressings in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. Trader Joe’s blue cheese dressing is a great option. See more Trader Joe’s must haves.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
