Slaws are a beautiful thing: They're summery, refreshing and perfect for parties because they can usually be made ahead and get better with time.
To celebrate the unofficial end of summer, we've rounded up our favorite cool and crunchy slaw recipes. Whether you prefer to stick with the old fashioned, cabbage-and-mayo-based coleslaw or crave something more tangy and vinegary, we've got you covered.
Scoop it on hot dogs in place of relish, pile it on a pulled pork sandwich or eat it up by the forkful on its own — it'll brighten up your whole spread.

This slaw is straightforward and simple so as not to distract or take away from whatever main dish is being served at mealtime. But the subtle and layered flavors and texture will surely enhance the flavors of a big batch of fried chicken.
