Definitely a different take on slaw. Had it in a SLT class paired with the Lexington Pulled Pork, Eastern North Carolina Sauce and Banana Pudding. When I made it at home my hubby thought it was a touch to high in ketchup!
Lexington-Style Red Slaw
In Lexington, North Carolina, coleslaw is made with a spicy ketchup-based dressing. This recipe first appeared in our June/July 2011 BBQ issue along with Dana Bowen's story East Vs. West.

Loved it. I've already made it twice. This will be in permanent summer rotation from now on.
This is wonderful and easy. I have made this for a couple of church/public meals with excellent reviews!
An acquired taste I reckon...
