Mimi's Coleslaw

I've been making this for years. Everyone who has had it says that it is so good. Hope you like it.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Yields: 12

Ingredients

• 2  quarts  finely shredded green cabbage
• 1  cup  shredded carrot

• DRESSING

• 2  cups  of a good mayonnaise (I use Hellmans)
• 1  tablespoon sugar
• 1  tablespoon lemon juice
• 1  tablespoon  grated onion (I sometimes use 1/2 tablespoon of dry onion)
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
• 1⁄2 tablespoon  prepared horseradish (optional)

Directions

1. Mix all the ingredients for the dressing together and set aside.
2. Shred the cabbage and carrot; I then sometimes take a hand chopper and chop it up a little more as I like it a little finer.
3. Add the dressing to the cabbage and carrots till you have the moisture that you like--it tightens up a little as it sits.
4. Refrigerate for about 2 hours to blend the flavors.
5. Enjoy!
