Coleslaw is always a personal favorite with BBQ.  I love this classic Coleslaw Recipe, but if you want to add a little kick to your slaw, I highly recommend this Jalapeno Coleslaw.  It’s got all my favorite ingredients, but with an added kick from diced jalapenos and cilantro.

You can serve your slaw as a side dish to any summer grilling menu, but I especially like to add it to a pulled pork sandwich.  This Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork is the best!  Make a big batch for a crowd, or freeze dinner portions for fast and easy summer suppers.  The Jalapeno Slaw is wonderful combined with the pork.
