Under the Apron Strings: Nutty Cole Slaw


This recipe is another old favorite that came to me by way of Mama during her teaching days at Giles County High School where she taught cosmetology for 25 years.


As the teachers sat and ate together each day in the cafeteria, they shared stories and often, recipes.


This Nutty Cole Slaw is the perfect addition to any summer cookout or get together.
