Lexington Red Coleslaw
Not your normal creamy coleslaw. The Lexington style coleslaw is tossed with ketchup, vinegar, and hot sauce, so it tastes quite sweet, sour and slightly spicy. A perfect side dish with Lexington style pulled pork.

Directions
Mix together the vinegar, ketchup, sugar, black pepper, and hot sauce in a small mixing bowl or a measuring cup until well combined.
Add the cabbage and carrot in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the sugar and salt over the veggies.
Gently toss well. Let stand five to ten minutes, then add to a large colander and rinse well under running water.
Remove the vegetables from the colander to a salad spinner and spin until the veggies are dry. Return to the large mixing bowl.
Toss the coleslaw with the dressing until evenly coated.
Adjust seasoning to taste with more salt and black pepper if needed.
