German Coleslaw
This is the coleslaw of my childhood. I had almost forgot about it until I was visiting with my mom this past weekend and there it was in her collection of recipes. It’s easy to make and is a great addition to any picnic table.
Ingredients
8 cups finely shredded green cabbage
1/2 large green pepper, cored, seeded and chopped fine
1 medium sized yellow onion, finely chopped
Dressing
3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
3 Tbsp. hot water
3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper (or more to taste)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Method
Place cabbage, green pepper and onion into a large bowl. Toss well to mix.
For the dressing, combine the sugar and hot water into a small bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves. Mix in the vinegar, celery seed, salt and pepper. Pour over the slaw and toss well. Drizzle in the oil and toss well again. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before serving. Toss well again before serving. Enjoy!
