97. White Barbecue Sauce Slaw

From 2007 Southern Living Annual Recipes

I am a HUGE fan of white barbecue sauce, and my favorite way to eat it is on a Hawaiian roll with pulled rotisserie chicken.

I always keep a bottle of Big Bob Gibson's sauce on hand, and I've never made my own. So, when I saw this recipe that used homemade white BBQ sauce within slaw, I knew I had to try it out.

I loved the crunch and texture the slaw gave to my typical sandwich, and the horseradish gave the white sauce a nice punch of flavor. It didn't taste anything like what I'm used to...but I'm hanging on to this recipe!

1 1/4  cups  mayonnaise

1/4  cup  horseradish

3  tablespoons  cider vinegar

1  tablespoon  lemon juice

1  teaspoon  coarsely ground pepper

1/4  teaspoon  salt

Stir together all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and chill at least 1 hour until ready to serve.

For Slaw: Combine 1 (16-oz.) package shredded coleslaw mix with carrots, 1/2 cup White Barbecue Sauce, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Toss gently; cover and chill 1 hour. 

89. Avocado-Ranch Dressing

From 2006 Southern Living Annual Recipes

My friend Jenny had me over for dinner the other night (chicken and dumplings!), so I put together this dressing, knowing how much we both love guacamole, for a wedge salad to accompany.

You better love avocados, because the flavor is predominant. I thought it was a little thick...I should have thinned out a little with more milk. It's definitely a nice and different twist on ranch dressing...worth a try!

2 ripe avocados

1 cup Ranch dressing
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Cut avocados in half; scoop pulp into a food processor or blender.

Add 1 cup Ranch dressing and remaining ingredients to food processor. Process until avocado mixture is smooth, stopping to scrape down sides. Cover and chill at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
