Coleslaw No'2 Serving Size : 6 1 cabbage head 1 onion -- minced 2 tablespoons salad vinegar 1/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup mayonnaise -- * see note 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper paprika -- optional green bell peppers, slivered -- optional red bell peppers, slivered -- optional 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard -- optional 1/4 teaspoon celery seed -- optional* Use only real mayonnaise, not salad dressing. This coleslaw must be allowed to blend flavors in refrigerator for 2 hours or more (overnight is best) for best taste. Shred cabbage into very thin strands. Sprinkle thoroughly with vinegar, mix in the minced onion, fresh ground black pepper and sugar. Put into an airtight bowl or plastic bag and refrigerate for 1 hour or more. Mix sour cream, mayonnaise, dry mustard (if desired) and salt. If using green and red sweet peppers, sliver them before adding to sour cream mixture. Add celery seeds at this time also if you are using them. Add this mixture to the chilled cabbage and shake in plastic bags or stir gently to mix thoroughly. Place back in refrigerator for 2 hours or more. Overnight is best and Yum...serve as a side dish to those BBQ'd chicken wings etc or as a filling in that freshly baked bread roll...Mmm,Mmm!
