Add the coleslaw mix, and grapes to the bowl. I like to buy the coleslaw mix that has shredded carrots in it too. It adds a bit more color.

For visually appealing purposes, you may wish to add a few more blue cheese crumbles on top. Some halved red grapes thrown on the top make it pretty too.

    I’ve made this twice and it’s such a big hit. Question is can I mix the dressing the day before and mis with the coleslaw and grapes the next day? I’m going to be short on time the day of the bbq.

      I would think that would be okay!
