Coleslaw for Pulled Pork (5-Ingredient)
Easy 5-ingredient coleslaw for pulled pork sandwiches and tacos. Made with crunchy cabbage, carrots, and a creamy honey-lime dressing in 15 minutes
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1-2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or Greek yogurt
- 6 cups very thinly sliced cabbage (purple, green or a combination of the two)
- 2 large carrots, grated (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, honey, salt and mayonnaise or yogurt, stirring until well combined.
- Add the cabbage and carrots if using, stirring until the cabbage is well coated.
- Let sit at least 5 minutes for the flavors to combine. Toss again and serve.
Notes
- Lime Juice: I love the fresh tang lime juice lends to this recipe, but red wine vinegar makes a good substitute.
- Honey: Again, the honey-lime combo is so good with pulled pork, but sugar works in place of honey if that's more your thing.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 6 cups of cabbage slaw.
- Make-Ahead: If you have time, allow the slaw to sit in the fridge for 20-30 minutes for the flavors to combine and the cabbage to soften a bit
