Delta Cole Slaw

I'm not sure what makes these 'Delta', but this is my new go-to slaw. It really is good.


We've had this mounded up on smoked sausage sammies, by itself, and piled high on hamburgers. I'd even put it on ice cream, I like it that much!


The original recipe came from Emeril. I saw him make it on Emeril Live and thought 'I have to make that!'.
