SPICY PEANUT COLESLAW LIKE ARMADILLO WILLY'S

Spicy Peanut Coleslaw Like Armadillo Willy's image

Not sure how many restaurants Armadillo Willy's have, but the one I usually go to is their original one and the one I've been going for something like 30 years. It's a BBQ restaurant with what I think of as one of the better tasting BBQ around. They also have this coleslaw that I really like. I've seen other clones but the one near us do not have onion, apple, green onion in their's. Taking it apart, it is chopped green cabbage with some red cabbage for color only, small amount of shredded carrots, cilantro and peanuts. What makes this coleslaw tasty is the spiciness. I've experimented with this dressing and it's not 100% there yet to the original one, but it's getting awfully close. The way most of these smaller places work is they incorporate what's available to them in their side offerings. And the cost is something they must look at. They keep 2-3 types of hot sauces for you to take to the table and I think that's where the spiciness is coming from.
