If you are looking for the perfect Coleslaw recipe for your summer outings, this is it! It can be prepared in advance and because it doesn’t contain mayonnaise, you can safely carry it on picnics or to a family bbq.
WHAT IS COLESLAW?
Coleslaw is a side dish made using shredded raw cabbage, carrots, onions, and often times contains radishes and other vegetables. The dressing for coleslaw can either be mayonnaise-based or vinegar-based. It is a wonderful accompaniment for grilled meats, burgers, or served on bbq sandwiches.
HOW TO MAKE COLESLAW
In a large bowl, mix together the cabbage, onion, bell pepper, and carrots.
Bring the sugar, vinegar, oil, celery seed, and salt to a rapid boil in a medium saucepan. Pour over the cabbage mixture and stir well.
Refrigerate in an airtight container. This will keep for up to 3 weeks, but ours never lasts that long.
