Have you ever heard of cheese slaw? It's basically like a cousin to Pimento Cheese, and it's the perfect appetizer for your next get together. Is it cole slaw? Nope! It's just a shredded cheese dip that looks like cole slaw, hence the name. This recipe is from Southern Living, it's great on any kind of cracker, but it's also FABULOUS as a sandwich spread. Try it on its own as the filling for a grilled cheese or you could even top a big juicy grilled burger with it. YUM. If you're looking for something different, give this one a try.
SO good!
1 lb Swiss cheese, shredded
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1-2 jalapeño peppers, finely minced
3/4 cup banana peppers, finely mined
2 medium scallions, finely minced
Simply stir all together. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
Serve on crackers, bagel chips, sandwiches or crudité.

Tips:
Ok, here's the most important tip... are you ready? SHRED THE CHEESE YOURSELF. Seriously, do not purchase the bag of shredded cheese because it just doesn't work. That cheese has a coating on it so it won't clump, and that's not what we want here. Just take 2 minutes and shred it yourself with a box grater, or food processor, or one of those trendy handy dandy rotary graters. It's definitely worth the extra effort!
