1 medium green cabbage, shredded (about 2 pounds)
1 cup thinly sliced dill pickle
1/2 cup short thin strips green bell pepper
1/4 cup coarsley chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions with top
1/3 cup shredded carrot
1 tablespoon finely chopped red bell peppers or 1 tablespoon pimentos
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup pickle juice (juice from jar of pickles)
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

In a large bowl, combine cabbage, pickles, green bell pepper, parsley, green onions, carrots and red pepper.
For dressing, combine water, pickle juice, vinegar, sugar, oil, salt and pepper.
Whisk until well blended.
Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and toss lightly to coat evenly.
Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, tossing lightly serveral times.
~NOTE~To shredded cabbage the Luby's way (for slaw that is easy to eat) cut cabbage in half lengthwise and remove core.
Cut crosswise into 1/8-inch slices into 2-inch lengths.

Tips:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the slaw to be crisp and flavorful.
Use a large bowl to mix the slaw. This will give you plenty of room to work and ensure that all of the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Don't overdress the slaw. Too much dressing will make the slaw soggy and bland. Add the dressing a little at a time, tasting as you go, until the slaw is coated to your liking.
Let the slaw chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the slaw to become more crisp.
Serve the slaw as a side dish with fried chicken, barbecue, or burgers. It can also be used as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, or salads.
