Tangy Southern Mustard Coleslaw
Tangy southern mustard coleslaw is not your traditional creamy mayo dressed coleslaw.
A complex flavor that’s tangy, creamy, slightly sweet and spicy. Which makes it perfect for pulled pork or even better…slaw dogs!
This is our take of Big Bob Gibson’s coleslaw recipe.

How to make Tangy Southern Mustard Coleslaw
Shred the vegetables in a food processor or cut by hand.
Combine the green cabbage, purple cabbage, onion, bell pepper, carrot, and celery in a large bowl and mix well.
In a medium-size bowl whisk together the apple cider vinegar, yellow prepared mustard, ketchup, sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Feel free to add more cayenne pepper if you prefer a spicier kick.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and stir to coat evenly.
Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.

I would never think of adding mustard to coleslaw!! Looks really good though.
Just made a batch. We always have prepared hot dogs with slaw. Born in WVa when we moved to North Carolina @ age 6 you could not find that on hot dogs anywhere! Also in Florida and now in SC we have introduced slaw dogs to many people and all loved it and never heard about it. There was a place in Orlando called Hot Dog Heaven that had various regions takes on the hot dog. One basket offered was the West Virginia Slaw Dog, which is where I am sure it originated.
This tangy slaw would as mentioned go great with pulled pork sandwhiches, also on would go great on Sloppy Joes!
