Angie's Dad's Best Cabbage Coleslaw

"Found this recipe on another site, my compliments to Dot. This is a fabulous recipe. Quick and easy. Its good the same day but, make a least a day ahead, up two weeks ahead it's flavor only gets better.It does stays crunchy. People that don't eat coleslaw like this one. Prep time does not include time to marinade. If you use the packaged shredded cabbage it only takes 5 minutes."

directions

  • In a large bowl, add cabbage, carrots, celery and onion.
  • Sprinkle with 1 cup sugar or splenda, and toss so that it is well mixed in.
  • In a saucepan, combine vinegar, oil, salt, dry mustard, and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Pour the hot dressing over the cabbage mixture, and mix well.
  • Can be served once chilled but best put into a large covered container, and refridgerate for at least 24 hrs.
  • If you let sit longer (flavor increases) it is best to pour off some of the juice before serving.

Questions & Replies

  1. If you cut the recipe in half, would you still get up to two weeks in the refrigerator? And, how many cups of shredded cabbage. "1 head of cabbage" is a bit vague. Thank you.

  1. Yummy! I really liked the addition of the celery. For health sake I just used about two teaspoons of sugar and it tasted great. I also cut back on the oil to about 1/2 cup and used about a tablespoon of sesame oil in addition. Instead of white vinegar, I used Bragg's Apple cider vinegar. It was very tasty. I liked the addition of the dry mustard. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. Perfectly delicious! and super easy. We loved this!
     
  3. This is AN ABSOLUTE FIRST RATE COLESLAW, & likely THE ONE that I'll be making from now on! Great taste & extremely exay prep ~ What more could a slaw lover want! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]
     
  4. A great make-ahead picnic or pot luck salad. Keeps well and does stay crisp. I used white sweet onion and added one thinly sliced green pepper from my garden. I placed the vegetables in a large glass jar; poured the hot dressing on top; sealed the jar tightly and rolled it on its side on a hand towel to mix it well. Turn jar over and roll back and forth each day to keep ingredients mixed well. At serving time I drain the salad with a slotted spoon.
     
  5. This was my first attempt at making coleslaw and it turned out delicious! My husband loved it and even my kids who hate coleslaw.Thanks for a great recipe!

<p>I live in Canada our winters are far to long and cold. I like to try new recipes. I don't really have a favorite cookbook. I enjoy reading fiction, my friends,good conversation,gardening,and the great outdoors. Love to travel, by plane, boat or automobile. My pet peeves are inconsiderate drivers who stop on a main road holding up traffic. <br />I'd really enjoy spending some time camping IN THE SUMMER by a beach or go the caribbean in the winter-- to the beach at one of the all inclusive clubs they always have a lot of different foods to try.. <br /><br /><a href=http://www.amazingcounter.com><img src=http://c9.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1862985&amp;c=5589268 border=0 alt=HTML Counter /></a><a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com>Dell</a> <a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com/dell-server.htm>Server Computers</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><br />Participation &amp; Awards:</p> <p><a href=http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/ZWT7%20Banners/9d968c99.gif></a></p> <p><img src=http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/ZWT7%20Banners/9d968c99.gif alt= /></p> <p><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/berriesblinkie.gif alt=Image hosted by Photobucket.com /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/RecipeSwap2.JPG alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif alt= /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/NZT-2-AnnaciasZaarTagbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Annacia's banner for Zaar Tag /><img src=http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/Copyoftag300-banner.jpg border=0 alt=Susie's Banner for Newest Zaar Tag /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/ZaarStar-AMBanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket&gt; /></p>
