Pepper Cole Slaw

Sharlene~W's Note:

Found this in my local newspaper. It is from Barbara Roll, a professor of nutrition sciences at Penn State University and cookbook author. I especially like the crispiness you get from soaking the cabbage in ice water. No mayonnaise, so it is lower in calories!

This is an excellent slaw ! I loved the light, crispy texture . The flavor was very nice, not too sweet or oily !! I WILL make again for sure !
