Pa. German Red Cabbage Slaw
If you love cabbage and are not a big fan of the cole slaws with lots of mayo, you'll love this recipe! German cole slaw is usually made with vinegar and no mayo which makes it a lot lower in fat. This is a compromise on that, and I really love the flavor of this dressing. Don't shy away from using lots of fresh ground black pepper! The dressing amounts are approximate: if you like more/less dressing on your salads, you can half the ingredients or double them - just keep the proportions the same. Sometimes, I add some chopped bacon for some more flavor. Also, you can use cashews, walnuts, pecans, your favorite nut, or any combination in place of almonds.
