Categories: Salads, Vegetables
Yield: 6 servings
1 cabbage head
1 onion -- minced
2 TB salad vinegar
1/4 c sour cream
1/4 c mayonnaise -- * see note
1 TB sugar

1/4 ts black pepper

: optional
: red bell peppers, slivered
: optional
1/2 ts dry mustard -- optional
1/4 ts celery seed -- optional
* Use only real mayonnaise, not salad dressing. This
coleslaw must be allowed to blend flavors in
refrigerator for 2 hours or more (overnight is best)
for best taste.
Shred cabbage in VERY thin strands. Sprinkle evenly
with vinegar, minced onion, fresh ground black pepper
and sugar. Put into airtight bowl or plastic bag and
refrigerator for 1 hour or more. Mix sour cream,
mayonnaise, dry mustard (if desired) and salt. If
using green and red sweet peppers, sliver them before
adding to sour cream mixture. Add celery seeds at this
time also if you are using them. Add this mixture to
chilled cabbage and shake in plastic bags or stir
gently to mix thoroughly. Place back in refrigerator
for 2 hours or more.
