The Best Crunchy Coleslaw Recipe (for BBQ Pulled Pork)

Step 1

Use a mandolin, food processor or super sharp knife to to shred the cabbage quickly. And if you wan tot skip all that, just head to the grocery store and grab a 1lb bag of the packaged shredded cabbage coleslaw mix.

Step 2

Add the shredded cabbage, carrots and onions to a large bowl or colander and a half of the salt. If you can, let it sit for 2 hours but honestly I never have that much time and typically just let it sit for about 30 minutes while I prep everything else. After it sits for a while, you'll want to strain out the excess liquid.

Step 3

As it's sitting, make the dressing. Add the apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, olive oil, brown sugar, celery seed, garlic powder, and kosher salt to a small bowl and whisk. Taste it and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Step 4

Once the cabbage mixture has been drained, add the mixture to a large mixing bowl followed by the dressing and the the green onions.

Step 5

Let the coleslaw marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to bloom. Toss, taste and season once more before serving.
