Tony’s Favourite Coleslaw Chop finely all of the following: 1 green pepper 1 large or 2 small white onions 1 bunch of green onions Grate the following: 1 small green cabbage 2 carrots Add: ½ cup of cooked, drained and cooled frozen corn (don’t overcook till mushy!) Dressing:
Bring dressing to boil and pour over cabbage mixture and toss well. Let sit for at least 3 hours. Toss every 20 minutes if serving the same night. If serving next night, toss it and let it sit overnight, then toss it every 2 to 3 hours (starting 8 hours prior) to the serving. The longer it sits the better it tastes. This coleslaw will keep well in the fridge for up to 10 days, without spoiling.
1 cup white vinegar ¾ cup white sugar ½ canola oil or an extra virgin olive oil 1 ½ tablespoons salt 1 ½ tablespoons celery SEED (not celery salt!) Fresh ground pepper to taste.
