It’s nice to be with you on this hot, humid day. It has been hot and rainy most of the week here in Vegas. Don’t get me wrong-I LOVE the Summer rain. BUT, it does keep me out of the pool with the lightning storms. Boo!
This blog post has been updated in August 2025.
One good thing about the weather is that I crave fresh veggies and fruit. What your favorite Summer “go-to” recipe? Mine is Summer Cole Slaw with Poppy Seed Dressing and Cashews. Yummy!
This recipe is fresh, crisp, sweet and savory all in one bite.
My friend, Stephanie gave me this recipe and it could NOT be easier. She brought it to a party and all of us attending went crazy over it. It has been a “go to” Summer recipe for me ever since.
Summer Cole Slaw with Poppy Seed Dressing and Cashews
1-head shredded cabbage
3-grated large carrots
1-bottle Brianna’s Poppy Seed Dressing (OR the Poppy Seed Dressing of your choice)
1-cup salted cashews
Toss well and keep chilled until served
How easy is that!
This recipe is great for Summer gathering, picnics, on a shredded pork sandwich, at pool parties, or as a midday snack. It’s a way to get your veggies in for the day.
Another variety for this recipe is to buy a package of colorful cabbage with shredded carrots. Then mix in the poppy seed dressing and top with cashews. Just as tasty, yet very colorful. Same recipe, just another option.
I made this version when our friends were visiting last week, and they couldn’t get enough! That’s always a high compliment.
I hope you try this recipe for Summer ColeSlaw with Poppy Seed Dressing and Cashews for your next meal. And let me know what you think.
Make it a beautiful day.
