Coleslaw has been one of my favorite side dishes since I was a kid, sneaking a piece of fresh cabbage while my mom chopped and then chewing it up right in my brothers' faces because they hated the stuff. Some things never change.

These days it's our go-to whenever we're grilling out, and I love piling it on top of a hot dog for a Slaw Dog. My mom always kept it simple with just three ingredients, and I've never seen a reason to complicate it — grab whatever bag of coleslaw mix looks good and you're most of the way there.

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
