Notes
• You’ll only use about half of the buffalo sauce, so they’ll be plenty to use for dipping veggies, spreading on sandwiches and burgers… Or making another coleslaw batch! Or, you can simply half the sauce recipe.
• If you’re following a gluten-free diet, be sure to carefully read the packaging for each ingredient. While these foods are inherently gluten-free, gluten can sometimes be added during processing for a variety of reasons, including for flavor and consistency.
