What to Eat With Pimento Cheese:

Crunchy coleslaw
Dill pickles
Chex mix
Deviled eggs
Potato chips
Pickled jalapenos
Fried pickles
Olives
Tuna salad
Gouda
Fresh salad
French fries
Tomato soup

Crunchy coleslaw

This is a great side dish for a pimento sandwich because the texture provides a sharp but good contrast to the creamy pimento cheese.

Some of my favorite vegetables to use in coleslaw are green cabbage, carrots, and red onions. I like to use a vinaigrette dressing, but you could also use mayonnaise.

Simply mix the cabbage (and any other veggies you’re using) with the dressing of your choice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
