Submitted by Lula1026

"This slaw is a nice change from those with mayo. It's also quite easy and great for this hot weather. Found in the local paper. Prep time does not include chilling time."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 1 head cabbage (about 5 lbs)
• 1 large yellow onion (for 1 cup chopped)
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup sugar
• 6 ounces low-sodium V8 juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon celery seed

directions

1. Wash and remove the outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into eighths and remove the core. Set aside.
2. Peel the onion and cut into eighths. Using a food processor fitted with the steel blade attachment, process the cabbage and onion, in manageable batches, until chopped finely. Scrape into a large container with a tight fitting lid. Set aside.
3. In a 1 quart or larger saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, V08, salt and celery seed. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is melted.
4. Pour the hot vinegar mixture over the cabbage and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours.
