This is our favorite coleslaw recipe, and so much better than most available in stores. It has a nice blend of sweet sugar, and acid from the vinegar and lemon. It is also simple and just takes a few minutes to just buy a package of pre-shredded coleslaw of your choosing, rather than shredding cabbages and vegetables yourself.
It is a perfect side dish with smoked meats in particular and goes on top of pulled pork to form a perfect pulled pork sandwich. (Something we never understood until eating pulled pork sandwiches this way in Kentucky!)
