I think you will really enjoy this traditional favorite summer salad recipe.

Cole Slaw Recipe with Boiled Dressing

Ingredients

• 1 large cabbage, shredded
• 1 cup carrots, grated
• 1/2 to 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1/2 cup salad oil
• 2 teaspoons salt

Method

Variation:

• Substitute cider vinegar for the regular white vinegar called for in this recipe. It’s my favorite.
• Substitute an equivalent amount of sugar substitute to create a sugar free coleslaw dressing, great for diabetics or those wathcing calories.
• Add thinly sliced red onion for color, but add it after the boiling dressing has cooled. Adding it before you pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture will cause the mixture to turn a bit pink.

To make it even healthier use the cider vinegar as suggested above. I would also use just the 1/2 cup of sugar, or even less. If you do the recipe becomes much healthier, particularly for diabetics.

This is a boiled cole slaw dressing recipe. You can use it raw, without boiling it, and it will taste wonderful. It cannot be kept for more than a two or three days though.
