My favorite coleslaw

Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients:

1 cabbage head
1 onion -- minced
2 TB salad vinegar
1/4 c sour cream
1/4 c mayonnaise -- * see note
1 TB sugar
1/2 ts salt
1/4 ts black pepper

Instructions:

: paprika -- optional : green bell peppers slivered : optional : red bell peppers slivered : optional 1/2 ts dry mustard -- optional 1/4 ts 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 in VERY thin strands. Sprinkle evenly with vinegar minced onion fresh ground black pepper and sugar. Put into airtight bowl or plastic bag and refrigerator 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 chilled cabbage and shake in plastic bags or stir gently to mix thoroughly. Place back in refrigerator for 2 hours or more. Recipe By : Jo Anne Merrill
