Crunchy Cole Slaw

I personally am NOT a cole slaw kind of girl in any sort of way. The mix of slimy creamy cabbage has never been appealing, but since I was making pulled pork sandwiches, and I know that everyone else loves the cold mixed salad on their warm sandwich, I decided to go against my norm and branch out. Boy, am I glad that I did. This wasn't slimy at all. The cabbage and onion still had a crunch, which was great in comparison to the soft texture of the pork and sweet rolls. It only took a few minutes to prepare, and then I just let it sit in the fridge for about an hour or so to let the flavors get to know each other before getting devoured at the dinner table.
