Down south, eating BBQ with all the favorite side dishes (hello coleslaw and pinto beans) is not just for summer barbecues. It’s a way of life. Every gathering from birthday parties to funerals and everything in between is most likely a barbecue affair. That’s why we’ve come to rely on our tried and true homemade recipes. Today, it’s all about coleslaw.

Not only does coleslaw get the ranking of top tier side dish, but it’s also lucky enough to join the barbecue sandwich as a topping. Now we’re talking. Coleslaw plays double duty because it’s so gosh darn delicious. I love to eat it as a side with chicken strips, roast beef, and fried catfish too. I also love to include it in turkey or veggie wraps. Yum! Coleslaw is definitely one of my favorite Southern side dishes.
