Sweet N’ Tangy Cabbage Slaw

Cole slaw is a staple side dish for any barbecue, but all too often the cabbage looses its crunch due to heaping dollops of mayonnaise. This crisp, oil-based slaw combines sweet Honeycrisp apples and real sugar, spicy red onion, and biting cider vinegar, making it a great side for your favorite grilled or BBQ meat. Even better, try atop Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork sandwiches.
