Lexington Barbecue Restaurant Red Slaw

By Mother_Daniel

Classic Lexington, North Carolina style barbecue slaw.

*“The most distinguishing feature of the “Lexington Barbecue Sandwich” is the inclusion of red slaw (sometimes called barbecue slaw).

Red slaw is a combination of cabbage, vinegar, ketchup and crushed/ground black pepper.

Red slaw is distinguishable from coleslaw because red slaw contains no mayonnaise. Many Lexingtonians (and visitors) consider red slaw a staple for a quality barbecue experience. Red slaw is commonly served as a side dish with barbecue, grilled poultry and other meats, and on hotdogs as a relish.”
