Original Old Bay Coleslaw
This coleslaw recipe used to be printed on the Old Bay cans, but it was removed a decade or more ago. It's very different from the one on the current Old Bay website. I much prefer this one and even today occasionally see a posting from someone looking for the old recipe from the Old Bay can. Well, here it is! It's a great side dish — especially with barbecued pork.
