MOM'S SLAW



Mom's Slaw image

This is mom's coleslaw recipe. She is always asked to make the slaw at every family function because she makes the best. As a special note, I believe that the fine-ness of the shredding of the cabbage & carrots really can change the turnout of the coleslaw. My family really likes it finely shredded. Others may like it shredded much more course.
