A thousand and one recipes! Here's one more. As you can tell we're really just tweaking the amounts of the basic ingredients. I Googled this for my 4th of July BBQ and kept about six results. I liked this slaw when we went to the Lexington BBQ, but my family didn't. Too much of a cultural difference in taste for them. The wife's tastes are centered around the Salt Lick BBQ near Austin.
