New Orleans Coleslaw

I've never made my own coleslaw before and I made this today to take for a picnic and it's very good! Nice, fresh flavours with a hint of sweetness from the maple syrup. I've never had nuts in coleslaw before either and it adds a nice extra texture. The measurements given make plenty.

The additions of buttermilk, maple syrup and pecans make this my favorite coleslaw recipe.

A standard coleslaw with store-bought dressing and additional pecans and maple syrup. A pleasant accompaniment to the 'Buttermilk Roast Chicken' (p. 274).
