Here’s a recipe to help you kick off summer: Grilled Pork Sliders with Greek Cole Slaw. Sliders are perfect for summer parties, and these sliders happen to have a ton of great flavor.
Grilled Pork Sliders
Sliders are perfect for the summer grilling season! And they’re good party food too. You’ll be able to put together these grilled pork sliders in about 30 minutes. They make for delicious munchies with a ton of great flavor!
Ingredients needed for these Grilled Pork Sliders:
- Greek Cole Slaw (an easy to put together recipe using cabbage, carrots, red onion and feta cheese tossed in a simple red wine vinaigrette)
- slider buns
- hummus
- pepperoncini
Oh, and you’ll need a fresh pork loin too (the most important part!) Since summer is already in full swing in my part of the world, it made sense to throw this on the grill. Pork loins are a bit thicker than pork tenderloins, so you’ll simply take a knife to butterfly the loin open so it will be cook more quickly and evenly on your grill.
I decided to add corn to complete this meal, and I threw it on the grill with the pork loin. It should only take about 5 to 7 minutes on each side to cook through completely. Don’t forget to toss the buns on the grill too so they get a little bit toasted.
Cooked on the grill, the pork loin comes out nice and tender. You’ll slice it thinly to put on the sliders.
Each small slider bun is piled high with hummus, grilled pork, Greek cole slaw and pepperoncini.
These sliders are such a simple recipe for entertaining. Everyone loves a good slider to eat at a party!

Grilled Pork Sliders with Greek Cole Slaw
Ingredients
GREEK COLE SLAW:
- 10 ounces (4 cups) shredded cabbage or cole slaw mix
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and shredded
- ¼ medium red onion, sliced thinly and chopped
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon dried mustard
- 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- salt and pepper, to taste
PORK:
- 27 ounces pork loin (can use plain pork loin or a marinated pork loin)
- garlic salt and pepper
SLIDER ASSEMBLY:
- 18 small slider buns
- 1 cup prepared hummus
- ½ cup sliced peperoncini
Instructions
PREPARE THE GREEK COLE SLAW:
- Place the cabbage into a medium bowl. Add carrot and red onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, oregano and mustard. Toss the cabbage mixture with the dressing, and then stir in the feta cheese. Toss well, and season with salt and pepper.
GRILL:
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Butterfly the pork loin by taking a sharp knife and cutting it "almost" in half- just cut across to the other side so you can open it up and lay the opened up pork loin on the grill. Season with garlic salt and pepper. (If using an already marinated pork loin, there is no need to season it). Grill 5 to 7 minutes on each side. If you're using a meat thermometer, it should read 145℉ when inserted into the middle of the loin. Add the buns to the grill toward the end of grilling, just to toast them a little. Remove the pork from the grill and let it sit on the cutting board for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.
ASSEMBLE:
- Spread hummus on the bottom halves of each bun. Add pork slices on top of the hummus. Spoon some of the Greek cole slaw on top of the pork, and then top that with a few peperoncini slices. Add the top buns, and they're ready to serve!
Notes
- You can also use pork tenderloin. The grilling time will not be as long.
