Simple Coleslaw Recipe

This coleslaw is easy to make and perfect for topping carolina-style pulled pork sandwiches or fish tacos. You can adjust the mayonnaise and vinegar ratio to suit your palate. Coleslaw will complement any grilled meat at your backyard barbecue. It is also a great accompaniment for southern fried chicken, fried fish, and seafood. You do not need fancy tools to make coleslaw. You really only need a knife to chop the cabbage. Place the cabbage on its core and cut it into wedges. Then cut each wedge crosswise into thin slices. If you prefer, you can get out the food processor and use the shredding or slicing blade to make quick work of the cabbage. An even easier solution, you can buy pre-cut shredded cabbage at the grocery store. There are many variations to add color and flavor. Besides simply using a green cabbage, you could add some red or purple cabbage for interest. Red bell pepper can be sliced thinly and you can shred some carrots as additions. You can adjust the salt and black pepper to your taste as well.
