# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork shoulder. Place the pork in a slow cooker or Dutch oven. Add apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce around the pork. Cook on low for 6–8 hours or in the oven at 300°F/150°C, covered, until the pork is fork-tender and easily shreds. Remove pork from the pot and shred with two forks, removing excess fat. Mix in barbecue sauce and return to heat for an additional 15 minutes.
02 - In a large bowl, combine watermelon, green cabbage, red cabbage, carrot, red onion, and cilantro. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss gently to combine. Chill until ready to serve.
03 - Pile BBQ pulled pork on a platter or sandwich buns if desired. Top generously with watermelon slaw. Serve immediately with additional barbecue sauce on the side.
