Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar like Bragg's
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise light is fine
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly coarse-ground black pepper
  • 1 large red bell pepper
  • 1 large orange bell pepper
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper
  • 1 16- ounce package coleslaw mix (no dressing)
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • Optional: Chopped fresh mango pineapple, and/or 1 minced jalapeño pepper

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the peppers. Set aside. Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat.
  • While the skillet is heating, whisk together the vinegar, mayonnaise, sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • When the pan is hot, place the peppers in the pan and char on all sides (about 5 minutes.)
  • While the peppers are charring, toss together the coleslaw mix and the chopped green onions. When the peppers are charred, very carefully remove them from the pan, remove the tops and seeds, and slice (carefully-they will steam). Toss the charred peppers in with the coleslaw mixture, then toss with the dressing.
  • Allow to stand for at least 10 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve as a side dish or as an incredible topping for grilled sausages, hot dogs, burgers, or tacos.

Notes

  • Store leftover slaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 2-3 days for best results.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can char your peppers on the grill, an indoor grill pan, under the broiler in your oven, or even over a gas stove.
