Raw fresh vegetables are so attractive in so many ways, good for you, beautiful color, and the crispness and coolness on a summer day. YUM. Cabbage slaw is a great side dish with many meals. I use it with both the creamy style dressing and with vinegar dressings. Here are 2 favorites.
1 head green cabbage sliced thin
1/2 sweet onion sliced thin
3 carrots shredded
1 red sweet pepper sliced thin
optional 1/4 red cabbage sliced thin
Combine the shredded vegetables in a large crock or mixing bowl. Using a smaller bowl mix about 3/4 c. miracle whip dressing with 1/4 c. vinegar, 1/3 to 1/2 c. sugar, 1/2 t. salt, 1/4 t. pepper and stir with a whisk or fork til smooth. Taste it and adjust seasonings and sugar or vinegar. Pour over the shreds and stir well and serve.
If you prefer a vinegar dressing combine 1/4 c. vinegar, 3/4 c. oil, 3 T. sugar, 1/2 t. salt and 1/4 t. pepper, and 1 t. celery seeds then stir together well. Pour over vegetables and stir until well coated. Taste and correct seasoning to taste.
