Eastern North Carolina Cole Slaw

Submitted by Peggy loves Dessert

"This is usually served on top of Eastern NC pork BBQ. Found somewhere on the web with a reference to a book by Bob Garner, "North Carolina BBQ -- Flavored by Time." It also says "Recipe by Ruthie Garner" but I'm not sure if that's who put it on the web from the book or that's who gave the recipe to the book. Also served on NC Crab cake sandwiches. OOohh...someone please take me back to NC!!"

Perfect cole slaw...in my opinion. Just like my mom's. I ate about 1/4 of it before serving the rest to others.
