This is a great cole slaw to have on hand for late bbq season, tailgating, and outdoor fall festivals. It is bright, tangy and just a tad sweet; the perfect complement to chicken or burgers that have a bit of char from the grill. How spicy it is depends on how much of the Merquen you use. (Thanks for our friends at Runamok Maple for letting us share this recipe.)
