Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and whip up this delightful BBQ slaw! Here’s how you can do it, step-by-step:

In a large mixing bowl, begin by adding the 14 oz bag of coleslaw mix. This mix is your base, featuring shredded cabbage and carrots. Next, add your thinly sliced ½ medium red onion to the bowl. The onion will give the slaw a delightful crunch and a bit of sharpness.

In a separate bowl, combine the ¾ cup of mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, a pinch of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Whisk these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth dressing. This will add a creamy texture while the vinegar offers a zing that will perk up your slaw!

Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mix and onion. Using a pair of tongs, toss everything together until the coleslaw is well coated. Make sure every piece of cabbage and onion gets a taste of that delicious dressing.

Toss in the ¼ cup of chopped fresh cilantro into the slaw for a hint of freshness. This step is optional but recommended to take your slaw to the next level!

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the slaw for at least 1 hour. If you have the time, let it chill for 2-3 hours. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve alongside your pulled pork and enjoy the sensational combination!
