This cole slaw is marvelous. Don't be fooled by the amount of garlic powder-it's not a typo. It uses a lot, but the taste is divine.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

5-6 cups shredded cabbage
1/4 cup shredded carrot
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tbs water
2 tbs cider vinegar
1 tbs garlic powder
2 tbs sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

Place shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.
Mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over cabbage and mix well to coat. Coleslaw may appear "dry," but water will release as it sets (pickles).
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The longer it sits, the more it "pickles" and there will be plenty of juice.
Serves 8-10 as a side dish

KICKED-UP COLESLAW

Kicked-Up Coleslaw image

I've been lucky enough to live and travel a lot in Asia, and the most important lesson I try to take with me every day is not to be afraid of bold flavor. This dish is a perfect example of that. Yes, coleslaw is a somewhat ubiquitous and familiar side, but that doesn't mean it has to be boring. You can subtly change the flavors without alienating the traditionalists and make it more exciting for everyone. A coleslaw is just a cabbage salad, and if you skip the mayonnaise-based dressing, it's a blank canvas. With ginger, salt, and zesty lime, this dish is light and fresh and frames cabbage in a whole new way.

My mother developed this recipe for my father to enjoy while watching sports on T.V. We called sports day meals "indoor picnics". My father loved spicy foods (as do the rest of the family), so my mother kicked this up a notch with mustard seed and mustard powder. My parents had 10 children, and took in many others over the...
