    Enjoyed this with the “Buffalo Chicken Wings” and also as a salad the next day. Makes quite a bit. To make it easy I just used the prepackage coleslaw mix which was about 3 cups. I think next time I’ll use 1/2 cup coconut or try to find a larger shred. Mine was pretty fine so the coconut was a little too much. Also used slivered almonds instead of ground. This would be great for a pot luck.
