Apparently there is some really fine print in my marriage contract that says the barbeque is the strict domain of the husband and that the side dishes are my responsibility. This is fine by me; let the hubby stand over the grill, working up a sweat, acting all manly, while I work away in the house where there is air conditioning and no bugs. And when I say work, what I really mean is toss together a few things, let the flavors come together in the fridge while I read a book or something. I like to keep it simple but not make it look like I did so.
This Asian coleslaw is not only super easy but allergy-friendly as well; it is gluten-free, dairy-free and thanks to Sunbutter, nut-free. Since it doesn’t contain any mayonnaise it is great for eating outdoors with Asian Barbeque Ribs.
So whether you are manning the grill or “slaving away” over the side dishes this Memorial Day, I wish you a fun and safe holiday!

This looks delicious. I am going to make this very soon. I love cole slaw and an asian twist to something I love is even better. I will be curious though to see if my husband likes it. Thanks for sharing.
I made this today and oh my word, it is delicious. My husband tried it too and like it. I am taking it with me for a pot luck. Don’t tell anyone but I kept some for us at home in case it gets eaten up at the picnic. I will be making this often, a great yummy way to get in my veges. Thanks.
Since there are no peanut allergies in this house, can I use peanut butter in place of the sunbutter? Would it come out okay?
Yes Lori, that’s totally fine!
