Goodweed's Refreshing Cole Slaw:
Ingredients:
1 head green or purple cabbage, washed
1/4 cup Miracle Whip Salad Dressing or equivalent
3 tbs. sugar or sucralose(Splenda, Alterna, etc.)
1 medium sized yellow onion, peeled
3 carrots, peeled
3/4 cup ice water
Use a food processor to simplify this job as the veggies must be grated. I use a hand grater, but only because I don't have a food processor and the slaw is worth the work.
Grate the cabbage and carrot with the coarse grater blade. Mince the onion with a very sharp knife by removing the skin, cutting off the stem and bud ends, then making thin vertical cuts (top to bottom), turn 90 degrees and repeat, turn onion on its side and make thin cuts. Voila, finely minced onion with no tears produced.
Combine grated veggies with the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and stir thoroughly to combine. Taste, add more salad dressing or ice water to get it as juicy or creamy as you like (I like mine very juicy, yum). Chill until serving time.
This cole slaw will almost quench your thirst. You can also add things like broken walnuts or pecans, raisins, diced apple, etc. For a change in flavor, you can great in rutabaga, or chicama (silent C at the beginning of this word).
Some people would add grated black pepper to this slaw. A similar slaw is made with vinegar in it as well. The recipe I provided is similar to KFC cole slaw. Enjoy.
