Cole slaw is, essentially, any salad of shredded cabbage. It may have some carrot and, perhaps, a little green pepper or other ingredeint. It is almost always dressed with mayonnaise or some sort of vinaigrette.

As with most coleslaws, this one is best if left to sit for a day before consuming, however, it is a dandy, fresh tasting treat when served just after making it too! This side-dish is the perfect accompaniment to a sandwich or a sausage or as a topping for a weiner ... or simply as a refreshing snack. This recipe can, of course, be expanded or reduced as needed.
