Coleslaw - Not Sweet but Very Tasty

Submitted by dejik

"I don't like sweet coleslaw nor does anyone in my immediate family, so I found a recipe in BH&G cookbook and since the book has been packed away for moving, I had to make up my own."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 head cabbage
• 1 medium carrot
• 118.29 ml onion (diced)
• 473.18 ml mayonnaise
• 29.58 ml white vinegar
• 9.85 ml sugar
• 9.85 ml celery seeds

directions

1. Shred the cabbage (how you like it, I usually do mine fine) and carrot. Dice the onion. In a separate bowl, mix the mayo, vinegar, sugar and celery seed. Mix dressing with cabbage, carrot and onion and allow to marinate in the fridge for an hour up to a day or so and enjoy.
2. I don't/have not substituted any alternative sweeteners other than honey or xylitol for the sugar as a great deal of the "other" sweeteners happen to be neuro-toxins. The honey does give it a different flavor of sorts, but was still OK. the Xylitol version tasted just the same and can be perfect for the diabetic in your family.
3. For a little more bite, you can up the vinegar content and/or up the celery seed content.
