We had pork barbecue dinner southern style the other night and I made this coleslaw to go with it. If you love creamy, tart and sweet -style coleslaw then you have to make this one sometimes. My mom-in law had taught me how to make real southern style coleslaw.
If you have food processor then you can use it to chop your vegetables. I have one but decided not to use it because I am only making for two persons. I did not add any green pepper too for some reason.
