This BBQ Coleslaw Potato Salad Bowl combines the rich, tangy flavors of BBQ with the freshness of coleslaw and the comfort of creamy potatoes. With the convenience of canned potatoes, bagged coleslaw mix, and precooked chicken or pork, this meal comes together in no time! The sweet pickle relish in the dressing adds a delightful tang, and the BBQ sauce is used to warm the meat and finish off the bowl with extra flavor.
Ingredients:
For the Bowl:
- 1 can (14.5 oz) of canned potatoes, drained and sliced (or use fresh, boiled potatoes)
- 1 bag (about 12 oz) of coleslaw mix (pre-shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 1 1/2 cups precooked pulled chicken or pork tenderloin (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: Chopped green onions or fresh parsley for garnish
The Dressing:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for creaminess and extra protein)
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (for tangy flavor)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (for extra zing)
- 1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)
- 1 tablespoon honey (or sugar-free syrup, or sweetener of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons cottage cheese (optional – this adds protein and a creamy texture)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
More Flavor for the Meat:
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite, sugar-free or regular)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Canned Potatoes: If using canned potatoes, drain and slice them into bite-sized pieces. If using fresh potatoes, peel, boil, and slice them.
- Coleslaw: Open the bag of coleslaw mix and set aside. You can also chop the cabbage further if you prefer smaller pieces.
- Protein: Heat your precooked pulled chicken or pork tenderloin in a pan on the stove or in the microwave. Warm the meat with 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce to infuse flavor.
- Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, sweet pickle relish, apple cider vinegar, mustard, honey (or sweetener), and cottage cheese (if using). Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Bowls:
- In each bowl, layer the sliced potatoes, coleslaw mix, and BBQ-warmed meat. Drizzle with the prepared dressing and top with a bit more BBQ sauce if desired.
- Serve:
- Garnish with chopped green onions or fresh parsley if desired. Serve the bowl warm or cold, and enjoy the delicious mix of BBQ and tangy flavors!
Optional Add-ins:
- For extra crunch, sprinkle with some sunflower seeds or chopped nuts.
- To make the bowl more filling, serve over a bed of leafy greens or more coleslaw.
