Yield Makes 4 to 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 small green cabbage*, grated or chopped into 1/8-inch-thick pieces
1 to 2 cups Lexington-Style Barbecue Sauce
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
freshly ground black pepper
*Some people insist on grating or chopping the cabbage by hand. In all the barbecue restaurants, they use a food processor and I have gotten used to the very finely minced coleslaw that they serve. So, feel free to use a food processor for this coleslaw.

Steps:

  • Combine cabbage and barbecue sauce. It should be wet, but not "floating" in the barbecue sauce. Let sit for at least 20 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator. Serve cold on top of barbecue on a white fluffy bun.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. Don't bother making it.

I followed the recipe exactly and my coleslaw turned out terrible. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This is the worst coleslaw I've ever had. The dressing was way too sweet and the cabbage was slimy.

Overall, I thought the coleslaw was pretty good. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

The coleslaw was good, but I think it could have been better if I had used a different type of cabbage. The red cabbage I used was a bit too strong.

I found that the coleslaw was a bit bland. I think it needed more vinegar and salt.

This coleslaw is a bit too sweet for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based coleslaw, but this recipe is a game-changer. The dressing is light and tangy, and the cabbage and carrots are nice and crisp.

I love the addition of apples to this coleslaw. It gives it a nice sweetness and crunch.

I'm not usually a fan of coleslaw, but this recipe changed my mind. It's light and refreshing, and the dressing is not too heavy.

I made this coleslaw for a barbecue last weekend and it was a hit! Everyone loved the creamy dressing and the crunchy vegetables.

This coleslaw is a refreshing and tangy side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts and potlucks. I love the combination of sweet and sour flavors, and the cabbage and carrots are nice and crunchy.
