Bright flavors and crunchy texture make this a Tanner family favorite recipe! If you’ve been to Meat Church BBQ School recently, you’ve had a version of this slaw with this Citrus Dressing. In class we use a mixture of red and green cabbage, carrots, cilantro, and green onions. I love the addition of fennel and orange supremes, but you can use whatever you like in your slaw.
