Slow-Cooked Pulled Pork with Cabbage Slaw

This is about as hands-off as dinner gets: rub the pork shoulder with spices and vinegar, set the slow cooker, and let eight hours of low heat do the work of turning a tough cut into something that shreds with two forks.

Serving it with a simple cabbage and lime slaw instead of a bun or coleslaw dressing keeps the whole plate paleo-friendly while still giving you that classic crunch-against-tender contrast. Smoked paprika and apple cider vinegar in the rub add depth without needing a store-bought sauce. It reheats well too, so it's worth making a full batch even for a smaller household.
