This vibrant cole slaw is ideal for Mardi Gras celebrations or any other occasion. It is displayed in purple, green, and gold, which are the Mardi Gras logo colors. With a touch of cayenne pepper for heat, the sauce provides the ideal balance of sweet and tart. The coleslaw will go mushy if it is dressed in advance.

Reviews
Easy and excellent flavor! Great way to use whatever veggies are ripe in the garden. Only had one zucchini so served over rice.
Lots of great flavor but I found it a little dry. Possibly didnt cook the noodles enough as they were not as tender as expected. The combination of flavors is outstanding though.
Good, basic recipe. I have never made a recipe with only one review before but it sounded good. I really liked it, probably will tweak it next time. One word of CAUTION- the recipe calls for a lot of Oregano. I only used 1/2 tsp and it still was pretty strong for me. Might suggest subbing for a “greek seasoning mix” next time.
I left out the olives as they are not my favorite… otherwise, I LOVE this recipe!!!
