RED CABBAGE VINEGAR BASED COLE SLAW

This is a vinegar based cole slaw I put together with stuff I had at home. It has a lot of ingredients, but they meld together to make it an unusual tasting slaw with zip. Very simple ingredients and very good. I can even see this on hot dogs or a Primanti style sandwich, with beef or pastrami, fries and this slaw. Haven't tried it on sandwiches yet, but if there is any left, sandwiches will be on the menu soon.

Time 5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 lb coleslaw mix
2 tablespoons minced onions
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup Splenda sugar substitute
2 tablespoons water
green peppers (optional) or sweet red pepper, chopped (optional)
salt

Steps:

In large bowl with lid mix slaw mix, onion and celery seeds.
Pour splenda over salad.
Mix water and vinegar and pour over salad.
Refrigerate overnight stirring periodically.
You can also put in large zipper bag and turn instead of stirring.

Tips:

Choose the Right Cabbage: Use a firm, crisp head of cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common, but you can also use red or Savoy cabbage for a different flavor and color.
Shred the Cabbage Thinly: This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing evenly. You can use a food processor fitted with a shredding disc or a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage.
Make the Dressing Ahead of Time: This will give the flavors time to meld and develop. You can store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your coleslaw the best flavor. If you're using carrots, grate them fresh instead of using pre-packaged shredded carrots.
Don't Overdress the Coleslaw: You want the dressing to coat the cabbage and vegetables, but you don't want it to be soggy. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more as needed.
Chill the Coleslaw Before Serving: This will help the flavors meld and develop even more. You can chill the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
