Southern-style creamy peppery coleslaw is a delightful twist on the classic coleslaw, bringing together the crispness of fresh vegetables with a creamy, tangy dressing that’s peppered just right. This dish has its roots in the Southern United States, where coleslaw is a staple at barbecues and family gatherings. The addition of cucumbers and celery gives it a refreshing crunch and a unique flavor profile. This coleslaw is perfect for those who love a bit of spice and creaminess in their salads. It’s a versatile side dish that complements a variety of main courses.
This creamy peppery coleslaw pairs beautifully with grilled meats, especially barbecue ribs or chicken. It also works well as a topping for pulled pork sandwiches or alongside fried catfish. For a lighter meal, serve it with a side of cornbread or baked beans.
