Saw this on the net a while ago and have made it many times. At first I only used it as a dressing and last week I discovered that it is also very nice as a basting sauce for chicken. The recipe doubles easily and stores well in the fridge.

COLESLAW WITH COOKED DRESSING
This is a great oil & vinegar coleslaw dish that you can make with the whole head of cabbage. The longer it sits, the better it gets! A great way to always have coleslaw on hand in the fridge, I have been making this recipe for 20+ years, with great results. I found it in our local newspaper's Christmas recipe insert, & have been making it ever since :) Enjoy!

Steps:
- -Combine shredded cabbage, onion, and green pepper in a large bowl.
- -Heat vinegar, sugar, and oil in a medium saucepan until sugar is dissolved and syrup is boiling.
- -Pour boiling syrup over cabbage and let stand until salad is cold (do not stir). -When cold, cover and place in refrigerator to chill for 24 hours. When ready to serve, stir to mix cabbage. It's nice because you can make it days ahead.
Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. If you're using green cabbage, choose a head that is firm and heavy, with tightly packed leaves.
- Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly and make it easier to eat.
- Use a mayonnaise-based dressing. This is the most traditional type of coleslaw dressing, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. However, you can also use a vinegar-based dressing or a combination of both.
- Add some sweetness. Sugar or honey are common sweeteners used in coleslaw dressing, but you can also use maple syrup or agave nectar. If you're using a vinegar-based dressing, you may want to add a little more sweetener to balance out the acidity.
- Add some crunch. Chopped nuts, seeds, or grated vegetables can add a nice crunch to coleslaw. Some popular choices include walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, celery, and carrots.
- Serve chilled. Coleslaw is best served chilled, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Coleslaw is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed at any time of year. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a coleslaw recipe that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give coleslaw a try. You won't be disappointed!
