Pickle Coleslaw Recipe | Epicurious

Pickle coleslaw is a tangy marriage of two beloved barbecue sides. Punchy pickles introduce a pep and balance to crunchy coleslaw, which can often lean creamy and sweet. You can build this slaw from scratch with the help of a good knife, mandoline, or boxed grater, or you can opt to start with a store-bought bag of coleslaw mix. Red jalapeño flakes bring a mild, earth sweetness, but you can swap in crushed red chili flakes as long as you only use half the amount called for since they are spicier. This pickle coleslaw can be made ahead of time and can hold for up to five days refrigerated and stored in an airtight container.
