Description

Papa's coleslaw — shredded cabbage, carrots, grated bell pepper, and onion dressed with a hot sweet-sour vinaigrette of vegetable oil, white vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and celery seed brought just to a boil and poured over the vegetables. Let stand at least an hour. Tangy, crisp, and deeply refreshing.

Note

Let the coleslaw stand for at least 1 hour before serving — the longer it sits, the more the vegetables soften slightly and the dressing flavor deepens.
