SWEET AND SOUR COLE SLAW



Sweet and Sour Cole Slaw image

Ever since she was a child, Maribeth couldn't stand the sight of mayonaisse, and mommy went to great lengths to hide it in recipes where it was required - but there was simply no hiding it in cole slaw. So she turned to a local cookbook at the time - the old River Road Recipes II - A second Helping - put out by the Junior League of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Here is a GREAT tasting, non-creamy cole slaw - particuarily good with barbequed chicken. Notice that this recipe is made the night before - and also, as it contains no eggs or dairy, it would be perfectly safe for travel on picnics. This recipe is credited to Mrs. Ben Miller, Jr.
