A basic coleslaw, dressed with a sweetened vinaigrette, called Forever Slaw because of it's long refrigerated shelf life.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1 pound) bag tri-color coleslaw mix
1 cup chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
3/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the cabbage, onion and bell pepper in a large, lidded bowl. Bring dressing ingredients to a boil and pour over the coleslaw mix 1/3 at a time, stirring in between. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. Toss again and let come to room temperature before serving.
  • Cook's Notes: May substitute a large head of cabbage shredded. One medium head of cabbage is roughly 5 to 6 cups shredded. White vinegar is traditional for this, though you can use apple cider vinegar as well. Be aware that it will give a slight patina tinge of color to the slaw though.
