1940's Coleslaw

"The original title is simply Coleslaw. I added the 1940's as this recipe is for a request for coleslaw made with a cooked dressing. Since most dressings for coleslaw today are not cooked and this book is from the 40's I renamed the recipe to help distinguish it from today's typical deli fare."

  1. My mom used to make a coleslaw like this one. Very, very good. The apple and cabbage combination works. I made the cooked dressing which was creamy and tangy.
