Slawsa

It's salsa! No, wait, maybe it's coleslaw! Actually, Slawsa is a distinct gourmet condiment that tastes great on meat and fish dishes from hot dogs, hamburgers, pork, grilled chicken to shrimp, scallops and salmon. It can be included in sandwiches, wraps and tacos and is also perfect for dipping with tortilla chips. Fat-free, gluten-free and cholesterol-free, Slawsa has only 15 calories but still packs a flavorful punch!

Grab these grilling tools

When grilling outdoors, cleaning your cooking grate is essential to keep your grill running smoothly all summer long. The 3 Sided Grill Brush from Weber makes the job a breeze! Shaped like a triangle, this ingenious brush cleans in between the cooking grates and in tight spaces at the edges of the grilling surface — making this a necessity for any outdoor kitchen.

How have I not heard of Slawsa??! What a fun idea! I'm going to need to get that for my 4th of July barbeque! I like the idea of having plastic, unbreakable dishware for outside. Things wear easier being outside due to the sun or wind/rain. Make sure it's durable so you're not needing to replace it everytime you use it!

You’ve definitely covered all the basics for outdoor kitchens! I am interested in trying this Slawsa condiment as it looks interesting, and I’m going to go with Jules’ recommendation that it’s a top-5 must-have for any outdoor grilling occasion. I love everything in this article, from the eco-friendly tableware to the barbeque master personalized 4-piece set! All of these things take backyard grilling to a whole new level!

I completely agree with Slawsa being in the top-5 for sure! People just don't have a clue as to how good it truly is and without a doubt, it'll be on our family's table this 4th of July! I'm so glad you have featured such a worthy "best kept secret." Can't wait to try the pear chutney recipe too. I love chutney's!
