Ahh… the coleslaw sandwich, I used to think I invented it.
It’s another one of my quick weeknight meals; I do this mostly on Mondays, because that’s when I try to do the least work for my dinner.
I know it’s a little unconventional having a lunch item for dinner… but I hardly eat lunch and this sandwich is really good at any time of the day.
I spruce up a bag of store-bought pre-shredded coleslaw mix with onions and red bell peppers, and jazz it up with a simple balsamic vinegar and lemon dressing.
It’s colourful and filling; sometimes, I skip the bread, toss in some nuts and cranberries and viola… I’m having a salad for dinner!

I love this sandwich, your pictures, and your blog. I also love your 100 things list. I feel as though we share some similarities. Although I don’t make my own bagels, but I probably should. Â
