Coleslaw

Until about 2 years ago I would not TOUCH coleslaw, gag!! But one time at a BBQ joint I tried some coleslaw on top of my pulled pork sandwich, and loved what it did to my sandwich! The crunch and extra taste it gave to it was a fantastic addition, but I still would not eat the stuff plain. Well, my husband loves to use our smoker, and so lately he has been making some amazing pulled pork, so last night I made this Coleslaw and it is amazing!! I have even been eating it by the spoonfuls, by itself, it is that good!! Give it a try, hope you like it as much as we do!!

The measurement below makes for a pretty runny coleslaw, so if you like it a little more dry add more cabbage and carrots.

***Here is a tip for getting your carrots nice and thin for this recipe, after you peel the carrot, cut the carrot into about 3 inch sections and your your peeler and peel the carrot into strip, it make it the  perfect consistency for this recipe!***
