Tangy Coleslaw (Cabbage Salad)
Preparation and cooking time: 15 minutes
Another salad from my mother's collection.... But I'm pretty sure she got it from a local restaurant as the original recipe made 8 quarts! I cut it down a bit, and made a change or two to make it easier for the home chef. This coleslaw was almost as famous as the Fish Fry!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups shredded cabbage about 1/2 of a small - medium head, 210gr, 7.5oz
- 1/2 red or orange pepper, 80gr, 2.8oz
- Tangy Coleslaw Dressing
- 8 tbs olive oil, 108gr, 3.8oz
- 8 tbs sugar, 100gr, 3.5oz
- 3 1/2 tbs cider vinegar, 52gr, 1.8oz
- 3/4 tsp course grain mustard, 3.75gr, .13oz
- 1/4 tsp celery seed or powder optional 18gr, .65oz
Instructions:
- To shred cabbage: cut a slice off of the head, lay the slice cut side down, cut into 4ths, then, cutting across, slice very finely: 1/16" - 1/8" (.3cm). Do not use the core of the cabbage - you'll recognize it when you see it.
- Slice the pepper thinly, then cut the slices into 1/2" (1cm) pieces.
- Put cabbage and pepper into a large bowl. Add half of the dressing and toss well to combine. Add more dressing according to taste and the amount of cabbage.
- Note: Use food processor for slicing if you have one. Slice thinly or shred coarsely.
- Tangy Coleslaw Dressing
- Put all of the ingredients in a medium bowl, Using as large a whisk as you have (and is reasonable), vigorously whisk ingredients together. The sugar will dissolve and the dressing get quite thick and clear.

There are 240 calories and 17 carbs in the cabbage/pepper.
The rest is in the dressing. I didn't note serving size but, for me, it would be between 4 and 6 servings
