One of my favorite twists — Jamaican Coleslaw 🥬💛


Hi Reader,

I've been having a lot of fun sharing new takes on my favorite recipes. I want to share one that I love — Jamaican Coleslaw. 🥰

Coleslaw has always been one of those dishes I have to have at gatherings or cookouts, but this version right here? It’s on another level. It’s fresh, tangy, and sweet, and it goes with just about anything. This Coleslaw works for jerk chicken, grilled fish, or even a simple sandwich.

I shared the full recipe (with all my little tips) over on the blog:

Here’s the Jamaican Coleslaw Recipe

And if you'd like to see just how easy it is to put together, I've also made a quick video!

🎥 Watch the short video here.

Hope you give it a try soon! Talk to y’all again real soon with more recipes I’m loving.


Happy Cooking,
