Crisp Refrigerator Slaw image

A dear friend made this for years at family get togethers.Everyone aways loved it even though she would make it a little on the hot side.I think it goes with almost anything.It has a little salty, vinegary,krauty,spicey taste.It keeps in frig.at least a month. Try it!
