Salt Lick BBQ Coleslaw Recipe

I just tried Salt Lick BBQ for the first time last week, they have the most beautiful location and best atmosphere (watch a 30-second video of my visit on Instagram). My favorite thing that I tried there was their amazing coleslaw, unlike most BBQ restaurants, their coleslaw has a vinegar & oil dressing instead of mayo. The co-founder of the Salt Lick, Hisako Roberts is Japanese, to enhance their coleslaw recipe, she added toasted sesame seeds and celery seeds, flavors she enjoyed while growing up in Hawaii. It’s the best coleslaw I’ve ever had, the toasted sesame seeds adds the most wonderful & unique flavor and the tangy dressing is the perfect compliment for bbq.

Delicious, tried & true! Just curious, could any of the recipe be prepared in advance?

  You can definitely make this ahead of time. Just keep the dressing separate from the cabbage until you’re ready to serve it.
