Ever have one of those favorite recipes that you absolutely love, but can't find? Hubby asked me to make coleslaw this week, and this is his absolute favorite. I searched all over this afternoon, and couldn't find what I'd done with this recipe ANYWHERE. I searched through all my cookbooks - where had I stuck it? Finally, after searching through a second time, I found it. Phew!
So, to make sure I never lose it again, I'm typing it up. What's different about this recipe is that it's not made with mayo, but cider vinegar and olive oil.
Sweet & Sour Coleslaw
- 1 head cabbage, finely shredded
- 1/2 medium red onion, chopped fine (optional - I throw it in if I'm making the day before, otherwise I leave it out, since Hubby hates onions)
- 1 carrot, peeled and shredded
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 3 Tbs sugar (sometimes I use honey, instead)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp celery seed
- Combine cabbage, onion, and carrot in a big bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and celery seed.
- Add the dressing to the vegetables, and toss until the vegetables are well coated.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Toss again before serving.
Enjoy!

I am not kidding, I was just looking at a head of cabbage thinking what should I do with this and then I came to this post! I'm gonna try it.
Sounds good. I live in the south so we usually have the traditional creamy coleslaw.
Thanks for stopping by!
Yum, this sounds great. I have never had a recipe for cole slaw and my husband loves it. Thanks. I found you through the Entrecard ad exchange. I am glad I found you. I like your Tasty Tuesday. I cohost a blog carnival "Tempt My Tummy Tuesday". Maybe you will come by and join us, sometime.

I have only tried it with mayo,i will definitely try this out without the onions,don't like onions much.
My husband would love this. He doesn't really like mayo. I am going to have to try this. Thanks for sharing.
I have to tell you--I'm a HUGE coleslaw fan! We're going to the beach this weekend, and this recipe will go along with us--thanks! BTW, Uncle Lynn is guesting today on my blog, so please stop in!
That sounds so yummy. I love coleslaw but my husband will not eat it. I think I may just have to make some for myself!
