It surprises most people to learn how bad most coleslaw is for you. This one is a great exception though, and it came by way of my Aunt Ruth, bless her soul. There’s no oil or fat. The only things that are bad are a teaspon of salt and a cup of sugar spread out over the 5o or so servings you get out of this bad boy. This makes a LOT of coleslaw. You’ll be shredding coleslaw for a day or so. I’d recommend halving the recipe, but let’s be honest, what are you going to do with the other half of a cabbage?

Ingredients

1 cabbage, shredded
1 green pepper, sliced
1 spanish onion, chopped
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup cidar vinegar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Mix the sugar, vinegar and spices in a pan and bring to a boil. Pour over cabbage, onion and green pepper mixture and refrigerate. It’s edible right away, but it’s better after 24 hours. Will keep several weeks.
