If you want a proven coleslaw recipe to accompany pork chops, I have just the thing for you today. This combination of ingredients has never let me down. Is it the fresh vegetables? Or perhaps the secret ingredient I always include? Find out for yourself!
What coleslaw to serve with pork chops?
The starch sides I serve with pork chops vary depending on the mood of family members. Yet the coleslaw for pork chops has remained the same for a long time. The kids have become so accustomed to it that they can't imagine a different pairing on their plates. And I’m all for it, as it ensures that the kids will get a solid portion of vitamins besides meat and potatoes from dinner. Plus, it's not much work for me because this coleslaw is a no-brainer.
In this recipe, the leading role is played by what you surely know well: Napa cabbage. The rest are just additions: onion, carrot, pickles, and a few spices. Speaking of spices, I always add a little… powdered sugar to this coleslaw. It gives the dish wonderful smoothness, but there's so little of it that I don't worry about health issues. All positives!
