Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped dill pickles, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper to create the Pickled Onion Slaw. Set aside for flavors to meld.
2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Grill the sliced smoked pork shoulder until warm and crispy on both sides. Remove from heat and set aside.
