Thanksgiving side dishes/10 recipes

This slaw is a great side dish with burgers, pulled pork, BBQ, or any succulent meaty dishes. Loved the dilled pickles in the slaw and the pickled juice in the dressing, which really accomplish the flavor. It's refreshing, and also very low in calories and fat.

Outstanding, super creamy, cheesy and belly warming. We served it with toasted garlic croutons for some added texture. It was a bit like cheese fondue but not as rich.
