Lemon Dill Coleslaw
This Lemon Dill Coleslaw is a great side dish to any picnic, cookout, or weeknight meal. This crunchy, creamy salad incorporates the vibrant and fresh flavors of spring.
The weather has been a fickle pickle this year. One day it’s warm, and the next it’s biting cold and the hurricane-like winds are cracking sturdy trees in half. Last week, I refrained from entering the woods for fear I’d be crushed by a falling tree branch.
I’m very impatiently waiting for the warm weather to move in and stay for good. I even went so far as to prepare my deck for outdoor entertaining. So far, I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying a bit of outdoor lounging twice.
If you’re anything like me, then you’re desperately craving fresh summer produce. We’re not quite there yet, but I did make you a side dish inspired by the bright flavors of spring that will transition easily into grilling season.
This Lemon Dill Coleslaw comes together in 10 minutes with a few simple ingredients. The triple dose of lemon and fresh chopped dill really brightens the dish, adding a fresh burst of flavor. I used lemon in three different forms: lemon juice, lemon zest, and a splash of Nielsen-Massey Pure Lemon Extract. I know what you’re thinking, but, I promise, it’s so good.
The lemon extract takes the lemon flavor up a notch, really enhancing the lemon flavor. The first time I ever used their extract in a savory dish was in my recipe for Cranberry-Orange Rice Pilaf, and I’ve been waiting for my chance to do it again.
Next time you’re whipping up a meal on the grill, pair it with this fresh and crunchy Lemon Dill Coleslaw.
