The American South is a hotbed for coleslaw. Typically served alongside pulled pork or barbecued ribs, every state and southern Nana has a coveted recipe. When compared, there are several standard components — cabbage, mayonnaise, acid and seasonings — but the commonality ends there and creative liberty takes over. The flavors in my slaw are bold, contrasting against the sweet, tender grilled cabbage. I prefer to serve it alongside chicken or as a topping to a burger — beef, turkey or vegetarian.
