    Cole slaw with dill.

    Creamy, tangy and a cinch to make, this Simple Coleslaw with Dill is the perfect side to serve at your next backyard barbeque.

    Admittedly, I am a cole slaw fanatic. I mean, what's not to love? It's a creamy salad with tons of crunch and flavor. This recipe is my favorite version, which is heavy on the dill.

    This classic barbeque side dish is versatile because it goes with so many main dishes, and it's an easy option because it can be made ahead of time.

    This simple slaw has a few unique twists including the use of greek yogurt, pickle brine, and of course the addition of fresh dill. It helps result in a perfectly balanced, creamy slaw that everyone is going to love.

    So let's get to making it! The text below offers some tips for making it, or you can scroll down to the bottom for the complete recipe.

    • mayo
    • sweet pickle juice (this refers to the liquid that is in the pickle jar and it adds such a fun element to the dish because it introduces a subtle flavor component and sweetness to the salad, but it can be omitted if…check the notes of this recipe to see how)

    Storage and Leftover Tips

    As stated above, cole slaw is one of those dishes that improves the next day (or sometimes even on the 3rd day!) so feel free to make this dish a day ahead of time if you are planning to bring it to a BBQ or potluck.

    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. And it makes great leftovers for lunch the next day!
