Red BBQ Slaw

By: ROBIN 
"Growing up in the foothills of North Carolina and enjoying Eastern North Carolina BBQ, we always had barbecue slaw or red slaw served with our pulled pork. The spicy, crunchy texture of the marinated cabbage takes BBQ to the next level. Serve with pork or chicken."

Original Recipe Yield 8 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 4 cups finely shredded cabbage
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 2 dashes hot pepper sauce, or to taste

Directions

  1. Place the cabbage into a salad bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, ketchup, sugar, red pepper flakes, and hot sauce until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the dressing over the cabbage, toss thoroughly, and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

Footnotes

  • Cook's Note
  • Barbecue sauce can be substituted for ketchup, and I like to chill mine overnight to allow for the flavors to combine.
