Steps:
- Working with half of the bag at a time, chop the coleslaw mix into 1/8-inch pieces (about the width of the carrots). Transfer to a large bowl. Dice enough of the onion into 1/8-inch pieces to yield 1/4 cup. Transfer to a fine-mesh strainer and rinse with cold water for 1 minute to soften the flavor. Gently wring out the onions in a paper towel and then stir into the coleslaw mix.
- In a pint jar or other container with a tight-fitting lid, stir together the sugar and 3 tablespoons water until the sugar dissolves a bit. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard powder, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt, put on the lid and shake vigorously until completely combined. Stir the dressing into the coleslaw, then set aside for 10 minutes to marinate and soften, stirring a few times. Add more salt, if needed. The coleslaw will keep, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 1 day.
FROZEN COLESLAW
We usually prefer slaws with creamy dressings, but we've never found one that freezes. This is a recipe passed on to me from Mom and has been a delicious alternative so we could use up the extra cabbage (after making sauerkraut of course) from the garden. I am posting it to assist with a discussion on the boards. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Prep time includes time cabbage mixture has to stand before adding dressing.

Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used in coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. Make sure the cabbage is fresh and crisp.
- Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the coleslaw dressing to coat the cabbage evenly.
- Use a variety of vegetables. In addition to cabbage, you can add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
- Make your own dressing. A homemade coleslaw dressing is easy to make and much more flavorful than store-bought dressing. You can find many different recipes for coleslaw dressing online.
- Chill the coleslaw before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the coleslaw more refreshing.
