I just LOVE the combination of bright, crunchy, tangy slaw, sweet and smoky BBQ sauce, and savory, creamy potato salad. It’s like a summer picnic in your mouth. For a different flavor direction, I also love to put Thai peanut sauce on a crunchy cabbage slaw.

In this video, I show you how to make my favorite simple slaw and a quick potato salad. The beans are literally just chickpeas or white beans heated for a few minutes with a splash of barbecue sauce, nothing fancy, but so yummy!
