Chef Ramsay doesn't have strong enough words for this red sludge which has enough dressing for a regular sized cabbage (8 cupsinstead of the 2 cups stated.
I use an old recipe:
1 head lettuce
1/2 cup mayo
3 tablespoons ketsup
1 tablespoon bbq sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
salt

The recipe provides the basic elements of Lexington style slaw, so it is a good springboard for experimentation. However, the pepper is overpowering and it needs to be just a tad sweeter. Try adding tablespoon of sugar and use apple cider vinegar. It is also better to grate the cabbage and mix in a little coarsely chopped cabbage to get the true texture of Lexington style slaw. Reduce the peppers to 1/2 tsp of each. I live about 45 minutes from Lexington and enjoy this slaw several times a year, so I am very familiar with both taste and texture. Not only is it great on pork barbecue sandwiches. Serve it on hot dogs and hamburgers with chili (no beans for the most wonderful sandwiches ever!
