Cole Slaw is such a basic dish, but it can round out a meal nicely. Fresh and crunchy, this cole slaw is the perfect pairing for pulled pork, fried fish, and hamburgers. I’ve even been known to eat it alone with ruffly potato chips. Don’t judge. It’s a good combo.
There are about eleventy hundred different varieties of cole slaw out there. While I like them all, the one I’m sharing with you today has been my go-to cole slaw recipe for many years now. As I mentioned before is a great partner for many dishes, but we can’t serve pulled pork without it. Here in the South it may be considered a sacrilege to serve pork without a cole slaw. At least in my South.
As quick and easy as this cole slaw recipe is to put together, it’s all right with me if we serve it with most meals, pork present or not. This can be prepared in very little time. If you’re in a rush purchase the pre-shredded angel hair cabbage in the refrigerated section of the produce department. It works great for this cole slaw recipe. Otherwise, a hand shredding with a finer grate, or using a food processor with a few quick pulses will create the perfect shred.
Try this Cole Slaw Recipe as a side dish for your next cookout, picnic, or fish fry and let me know what you think.

I love coleslaw also, and my favorite recipe has a 1/2 t. horseradish….kind of a mystery ingredient that gives just a little zing!
Nothing better than a regular version of coleslaw!
I love a classic cole slaw recipe, and this looks delicious! Perfect for BBQ’s!
Girl, I have been thinking of cole slaw in my head for a couple of weeks now. As soon as we get our grill all cleaned up and running, I’m all over your easy recipe!
I was just thinking of coleslaw this morning and a good recipe for one and this looks like a great one.
This looks like a great recipe. We love cole slaw with everything.
Looks delicious!
Nothing goes better with a grilled summer meal than a great cole slaw. Love the paprika, looks delish!
I’ll have to add this to my coleslaw collection, making it eleventy hundred and one and will be slathering it on a BBQ pork sand pronto.
Can we use something other than rice vinegar and still have the same outcome?
Of course! Any vinegar made for cooking should work well.
The use of onion, rice vinegar, and paprika make this recipe very unique, and tasty. Next month, I plan to do a round up of coleslaw recipes and was wondering if I can use a photo of your recipe in the round up along with a link back to your site for the recipe.
Thank you for your consideration.
