Lots of fresh parsley adds brightness and a fresh taste to this slightly sweet slaw from Southern food expert and author John T. Edge. It’s based on the slaw from the famous Fresh Air barbecue restaurant in Flovilla. Like most barbecue restaurants, its recipes are top secret, but after much experimentation, Edge’s wife, Blair Hobbs, thinks she nailed it.
