Expert Tips
Use fresh cabbage for the best crunch and texture.
Taste before serving. Every BBQ sauce is different, so add a splash more vinegar if you like a little more tang.
Don't overdress the slaw. Add just enough dressing to coat the vegetables so they stay crunchy.
Make it colorful by using a mix of green and purple cabbage.
Refrigeration: Store leftover Barbecue Coleslaw in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving to redistribute the dressing.
