How to Make American Kitchen Classic Lexington Style Red Slaw

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 8 cups shredded green cabbage (about 1 medium head) to the bowl.
  3. Toss the cabbage and dressing until evenly coated.
  4. Let the slaw sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, tossing occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. For best results, chill the slaw in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to fully develop and the slaw to cool.
