These BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches are served with a fresh and delicious Pineapple Mango Slaw. This is an easy weeknight or fun weekend dinner idea.
When summertime comes I love two things: grilling, and using fresh seasonal fruit and veggies. My current obsession is fresh pineapple. Like in these Grilled Hawaiian Chicken Teriyaki Bowls with grilled pineapple. Those were fantastic. And I used my leftover pineapple to make these BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Pineapple Mango Slaw, and boy were they delicious!
The BBQ pulled pork in this recipe is made in the slow cooker, so it’s easier than ever. (And if you’re in a hurry you could use Costco’s Smoked Pulled Pork, with is fantastic!).
Douse the meat in some of your favorite BBQ sauce ( I love Sweet Baby Ray’s) and it’s just plain amazing. Then there’s this simple pineapple mango slaw that adds the perfect sweet and tangy crunch. Serve the sandwiches with some baked beans or a side of fruit and you’ve got the perfect summer meal!

How much broccoli slaw is “1 bag broccoli slaw”?
Lauren Allen says
I tend to buy a 12 or 16 ounce bag, depending on the store i’m shopping at! Feel free to use your own judgement as to the ratio of other ingredients (bell pepper, pineapple, mango, etc) to slaw for this recipe!
