17. Have you ever had vinegar slaw? It is very good
Thu Jun 4, 2026, 11:16 PM
Thursday

For the coleslaw base:

1 medium head green cabbage (about 2 lbs), cored and thinly shredded
2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)

3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable oil or light olive oil
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder

Steps
Shred the cabbage as thinly as possible using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer — thin shreds absorb the dressing better.
Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl.
Add the grated carrots, sliced red onion, and bell pepper if using.
Toss the vegetables together to combine.
In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, celery seed, black pepper, and mustard powder.
Heat the dressing over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar completely dissolves — about 2-3 minutes.
Do not let the dressing boil.
Pour the warm dressing over the cabbage mixture immediately.
Toss everything together thoroughly until all the vegetables are coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
Toss again before serving and drain off excess liquid if desired for a less wet slaw.

or there is freezer slaw:
