Description

This is a great homemade coleslaw and no mayo required! Everyone always asks for mom’s recipe so here ya go!


Ingredients

Scale

1 large head shredded, purple or green cabbage (Buy in a bag or grate your own. Mom  used to chop it in the food processor.)
1 large chopped onion
1 c sugar

Dressing Ingredients:
1 c apple cider vinegar
3/4 c salad oil (I used canola)
2 T sugar
1 t celery seed or to taste
2 t dry mustard
1 t salt


Instructions

Shred cabbage if you are shredding your own.

Pour sugar over cabbage and onion and mix well. Let stand while you make the dressing.

Bring dressing ingredients to a boil and boil for one minute. Pour over cabbage mixture and stir well. Let marinate for several hours before serving – or not. This tasted great even within an hour!

Oh my my!


Notes

This makes enough dressing for 1 large head of cabbage. If you are just using 1 bag of shredded cabbage, I would recommend using only 1/3 cup of sugar and 1/3 of the dressing.
