Coleslaw with Roasted Red Pepper
This Coleslaw with Roasted Red Pepper is so colorful and delicious and a nice break from regular coleslaw. Tangy Gorgonzola cheese and spicy roasted red peppers mixed into finely shredded cabbage is a perfect side for chicken or pork. All of the flavors blend well together so you get a nice crunch from the cabbage, a creamy, tangy bite from the cheese and unique roasted red pepper flavor. Whenever I bring this to a picnic or family dinner, it disappears so fast!
Inspired by Kona Grill’s Red Pepper Coleslaw
One of my favorite things to get at Kona Grill is their chicken satay appetizer because it comes with this amazing red pepper coleslaw. I am addicted to the stuff, it is a little spicy and a little sweet and just all around so good. It has gorgonzola cheese and roasted red peppers mixed in to finely shredded cabbage with a slightly spicy coleslaw sauce that is to die for. I remember the first time that we ordered this we were fighting over the last bites of this coleslaw. Now when I go, if we don’t get the chicken satay I still ask for a side of this tasty slaw.
What are Roasted Red Peppers?
Roasted red peppers are quite literally red peppers that have been roasted and slightly charred in the oven. You can buy jars of roasted red peppers at the grocery store or make your own at home! Roast them yourself by slicing up a red pepper (you can roast any kind of peppers this way, not just red) and placing them on a cookie sheet about four inches under the broiler. Roast them at 450 degrees for about 15-20 minutes until they’re slightly blackened and the skins have collapsed. Once you remove them from the oven, let them cool slightly, then peel the skins off and throw them away. You can add these delicious peppers to salads, pasta dishes or sandwiches. They’re so yummy!
