This Dill Pickle Coleslaw combines tangy pickles and crunchy cabbage in a creamy dill flavored dressing. Made healthier using Greek yogurt, this slaw is creamy with a tangy crunch, perfect for serving with BBQ or pulled pork sandwiches.

I love a good pulled pork sandwich, pilled high with tender, perfectly cooked shredded pork, sweet BBQ sauce, crunchy and creamy coleslaw, and tangy pickles. It is simply the best combination of flavors and textures! But the last time I was planning on making BBQ pulled pork sliders – inspiration struck. Why not combine the pickles AND slaw into one delightfully creamy, crunchy, tangy, salty dish?

This Easy Dill Pickle Coleslaw is crunchy with tangy pops of sliced pickles. It is coated in a rich and creamy dressing combining salty, tangy pickle juice with creamy Greek yogurt and just a bit of mayonnaise for richness.

This Dill Pickle Slaw is perfect for piling high on pulled pork sliders or sandwiches. But it is just as good served by itself as a side to any grilled or BBQ meats, burgers, or hot dogs.

How Do You Make Dill Pickle Slaw?

This easy Dill Pickle Slaw is simple to make, combining shredded cabbage and thinly sliced green onions with sliced pickles. The dressing packs a flavorful punch, taking a few simple ingredients to the next level. Inspired by my Dill Pickle Pasta Salad recipe, it is made by combining a few simple ingredients:

Greek Yogurt: Whole milk Greek yogurt adds a rich, creaminess with a little tang.
Mayonnaise: Just a little mayonnaise adds a little extra richness.
Pickle Juice: A couple of tablespoons of dill pickle juice, scooped right out of the pickle jar adds a salty, vinegary tang and brings lots of pickle flavor.
Dried Dill: I use dried dill, since it is easy to keep on hand, for that grassy dill flavor. But you can also substitute fresh dill instead. Just use about 1 tablespoon instead of just the 1 teaspoon, since dried herbs have a more concentrated flavor.
A Handful of Spices: A little garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, celery seed, salt, and pepper round out the flavors.

How Do I Serve This Dill Pickle Coleslaw?

My favorite way to serve this Dill Pickle Slaw (or my favorite way to have any coleslaw for that matter) is pilled up on pulled pork sandwiches. With a tangy pickle-y flavor, this slaw is also the perfect side dish recipe to serve with any barbequed meats.

Serve this Dill Pickle Coleslaw with:

Pulled Pork Sliders or Sandwiches
BBQ Ribs, Brisket, or Chicken
Grilled Burgers, Hot Dogs, or Brats
Fried or Grilled Fish
