Receta OLD-FASHIONED ICE BOX COLESLAW
This recipe for Old-Fashioned Ice Box Coleslaw has been around a long time. It is a tangy slaw that keeps in the refrigerator for up to a week and goes great with just about any meal as a side dish. I love making this to go with baked beans on the 4th of July but it is good for any holiday. Just the fact that it keeps up to a week is good because you have it on hand to go with sandwiches, hot dogs and burgers anytime. Each time I make this slaw I have forgotten how much we enjoy it and I hope you do, too.
1/2 of a large head of cabbage or 1 small head chopped or grated (I just chop mine)
- 1 small purple onion, chopped (can use regular onion)
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/3 cup oil (I use Canola)
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
Combine cabbage, onion, green pepper, carrot, celery seeds, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Set aside. Combine sugar, vinegar, oil and dry mustard in a saucepan and bring to a boil on top of the stove. Remove and let cool. Toss dressing with slaw mixture. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. Makes 7 to 8 cups coleslaw. Keeps up to a week refrigerated. Enjoy!
