Slow Cooker Vegan BBQ Sliders with Coleslaw
At last, it feels like summer is on its way! We’re celebrating these early days of summer with one of our seasonal favorites – BBQ… And we’re doing it vegan style!
Temperatures are hitting the 80s, I’m wearing shorts almost daily, and we’re on our third watermelon of the season. It’s actually warm enough today that I’m planning to serve dinner out on the back deck this evening and I’m pretty excited about it.
With the classic combination of BBQ and coleslaw together in one bite, these little sandwiches are like a taste of summer. And they’re so easy! Serve with a side of corn on the cob and you’ve got yourself one tasty meal!
