    Sriracha Slaw - Guest Post From It's a Keeper

    Welcome to week two of my summer guest blogger series. This week we have Christina from It's a Keeper sharing a great summer salad, Sriracha Slaw. Enjoy!

    Hi there! I’m Christina from It’s a Keeper ( www.itisakeeper.com), a food and cooking blog where I test recipes to see if they’re (you guessed it…) keepers. Bernadette has graciously let me take Rants from my Crazy Kitchen today and share one of my favorite recipes with you.

    Like Bernadette, I’m also from northeastern PA and summer is right around the corner so I thought I would share one of my favorite summer salad recipes – Sriracha Coleslaw! It’s a fun twist on my traditional coleslaw recipe.

    Have you ever tried Sriracha hot sauce? It’s the spicy red sauce with the rooster on the bottle that you find in the Asian section of the grocery store.  It’s very tres-chic these days.  People are using it on everything from pizza to eggs to wings.

    I love the flavor combination of this sauce.  It’s sweet and garlicky and spicy.  But, it’s not hot-sauce spicy.  The flavor is deeper than traditional hot sauce.  It’s more of a warming heat than a burn-your-tongue-off heat.

    For a while now, I’ve been experimenting with Sriracha. I thought it would be interesting to pair this zippy sauce with something cool and creamy.  The results were amazing!  I loved all of the textures and flavors together.  The crunch of the cabbage.  The tang from the vinegar.  A slight sweetness and, of course, the zest of the Sriracha.  It really kicked up my traditional coleslaw to a whole new level.

    I love it paired with my Slow Cooker Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwiches. Give this recipe a try – you may have just found your new summer salad favorite! I did.

    If you get a chance to try this, I would love to hear how you liked it. Be sure to drop me a line and let me know what you thought – you can find me on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest.
