Notes
This is a pretty classic recipe and is delicious and easy to make. You should let it sit for about 2 hours - longer is better. It can even be made the day before. Back home a barbeque just wouldn't be a barbeque with coleslaw. Check out my recipe for Quick Pickles to go with your burgers.
I suggest Hellmans mayonnaise because unlike Swedish brands is mayonnaise and not dressing, and has no sugar in it. I find Hellmans at my local ICA Supermarket.
