West Virginia Cole Slaw

By exdircomp

Great for Slaw Dog or pulled pork

Ingredients

• Ingredients for the dressing:
• Ingredients for the slaw
• 1 pound green cabbage (about half a medium cabbage)
• 1 large carrot, peeled
• 1/2 small white onion
• Optional. Add 1/2 red or green bell pepper, sliced thin or hashed.
• Optional. Add 3 radishes, red or white, hot if you like, sliced thin or hashed.
• Optional. Add 1 small minced jalapeño if you like it hot. Horseradish, just a tablespoon in the background, is a surprising addition.
• 1 tablespoon distilled vinegar
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds (not celery salt)

Preparation

Step 1

1) cut the cabbage, carrot, and onion: Chopped, grated, or hashed and have at it. Set them aside. I prefer this recipe shredded or chopped.

2) Whisk together the dressing in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, and onion. Cover, taste, and adjust seasonings. Chill for at least 1 hour if possible.
