PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH COLESLAW

Sometimes it's nice to have a non-mayonnaise cole slaw like this one from Lizzie's Amish Cookbook. Interestingly, "coleslaw" comes from the Dutch "koolsla" meaning cabbage salad. Also, kohl is a German word for cabbage. Cook time is chilling time.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 large cabbage, shredded
1 c celery, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
DRESSING
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2-3/4 c vinegar
1 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp mustard seed
2 tsp salt, or to taste

Steps:

1. Mix veggies together in large bowl.
2. Mix dressing ingredients together and pour over veggies.
3. Stir together gently, chill for at least 2 hours to let flavors blend together before serving.

Tips:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the coleslaw to have a more delicate texture.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor to shred the cabbage and carrots.
Be sure to drain the cabbage and carrots well before adding them to the coleslaw. This will help to prevent the coleslaw from becoming watery.
Use a light hand when tossing the coleslaw with the dressing. Over-mixing can cause the coleslaw to become limp.
Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
