This Southern coleslaw recipe has been passed down the generations and is great for any occasion. It has the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I've even been told it is reminiscent of KFC coleslaw. You be the judge!

Fasolakia (Greek Green Beans)
Fasolakia are Greek green beans stewed with olive oil and tomato, with a few pieces of potato added for good measure. This is a main dish in Greece, not a side dish, and a prime example of plant-based eating! Good crusty bread is essential for mopping up the sauce and I always need to have a healthy chunk of feta on the side. Serve fasolakia warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
