Prep it and forget it: this Coleslaw recipe is a breezeColeslaw is such a classic and no BBQ is complete without it! Our version is creamy with a slight tang and it couldn’t be easier (I often have my kids be in charge of it!).
We enjoy coleslaw most piled high on pulled pork, on top of slow cooker chicken tacos, or as a BBQ side dish.
How to make Coleslaw:
Chop Veggies very thinly. Use paper towels to squeeze out any excess moisture from shredded carrot. (Alternately, use two 14oz bags of coleslaw mix in place of cabbage and carrot.)
Whisk dressing ingredients in a medium bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Combine: Add veggies to an extra-large mixing bowl. Mix in the dressing until evenly coated.
Refrigerate homemade coleslaw for several hours or overnight before serving, for best results.
