Grilling season is here! Check out these tips to making the perfect Dijon coleslaw paired with grilled beer brats.
When I think of grilling I think of last summer, visiting Alex in Ann Arbor. 
In the summertime Alex and I would buy a six pack of Oberon and sip it as we grilled on the large red deck at the back of the house. We’d make big juicy hamburgers, citrusy chili lime chicken skewers, and hot dogs.
Hot dogs have always been a guilty pleasure of mine. Though I typically enjoy thoughtfully-prepared dishes with fresh twists, I have quite a fondness for good old fashioned hot dogs.
So today, I’m combining the two. Upscale hot dogs, if you will. Bratwursts cooked in beer for flavor and moisture, paired with a tangy dijon coleslaw from my friends at Maille.
The coleslaw is so good that I ate it on its own as a side dish. It’s crunchy and creamy, but at the same time has this great kick from the dijon mustard. I’m a mustard fanatic, and I was SO into Maille’s dijon. Like a spread-it-on-my-sandwich-every-day-since-I-got-it fan.
The coleslaw will keep for over a week in the fridge. Just make sure to seal it in an air-tight container.
Now who’s ready for grilling season?
