Lexington red dip

In the area west of Raleigh in North Carolina, the area also known as Piedmont, this thin vinegar dip is served alongside pulled/chopped pork shoulder. It is also used as the dressing for red slaw. As you travel towards the west, tomato becomes a more common addition to the BBQ sauce, hence the name, red dip.
