COLE SLAW

 

Howard the Gnome likes to eat his Cole Slaw outside in the fall.

This makes what looks like a ton of cole slaw, but once you dress it and let it sit for a while it isn't so much. This is more like the amount for a party... halve the recipe if you are just making it for a few people for dinner.

Ingredients:
One head of green cabbage, shredded
One head of purple cabbage, shredded
5 carrots, shredded
One bunch of cilantro, chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon celery salt
 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Cut the core out of your cabbage before shredding it.

 

Thinly slice the cabbage to make fine shreds... matching nail polish is always a plus!

 

You can buy already shredded carrots, or use a box grater...

 

 Here are the ingredients for your dressing.

Put all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. It should have the consistency of a melted milkshake. Taste it to see if is has that perfect sweet, tangy, salty flavor balance and adjust accordingly.

 

Pour the dressing over your slaw...

 

...and toss. Refrigerate and re-toss a few times so everything gets to marinate in the dressing. This is better if you make it at least an hour before you are going to eat it.
