Slaw Recipes if Learning How to Make Salads Might be Called Cabbage Salad Recipe

Slaw recipes come with a wide variety of ingredients added to the basic cabbage. There are recipes with celery, carrots, onion, bacon, noodles, butter, green bell peppers, mustard, oil, vinegar, sugar, nuts, sprouts and almost everything from the kitchen. My mother always made a very simple and easy slaw and everyone thought it was delicious.

SLAW

• 1 Medium head cabbage, washed, dried off and shredded very thin


• 4 Tables vinegar


• ¼ Cup sugar


• ½ to ¾ Cup mayonnaise


• Salt/pepper to taste

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, vinegar, sugar and mayonnaise. You may need to mix with hands to blend thoroughly. (Wash hands with hot soapy water before using hands or use plastic gloves). Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for several hours. You could also add a few shredded carrots for eye appeal.

Many of the slaw recipes have a cream base and are served as a cold slaw.
