Coleslaw With Cooked Dressing

Submitted by Chef MarianneL

"This is a great oil & vinegar coleslaw dish that you can make with the whole head of cabbage. The longer it sits, the better it gets! A great way to always have coleslaw on hand in the fridge, I have been making this recipe for 20+ years, with great results. I found it in our local newspaper's Christmas recipe insert, & have been making it ever since :) Enjoy!"
