KITTENCAL'S MARINATED OIL AND VINEGAR COLESLAW

Kittencal's Marinated Oil and Vinegar Coleslaw image

I make this quite often for BBQ parties and everyone loves it! plan ahead, this salad must be prepared a day ahead and left in the fridge overnight to blend the flavors, it will take on a completely different flavor --- I have even added in lightly blanched broccoli and/or cauliflower florets to the veggies, feel free to add in whatever you want to --- remember to add in the white sugar to suit taste if you prefer a sweeter coleslaw adjust the sugar amount, I have added up to about 1 cup, taste the dressing before adding to the salad if you think it needs more sugar then add it into the dressing before mixing into the slaw just make certain to whisk very well so that the sugar is mixed in completely.

Ingredients

1 head of green cabbage, grated or shredded -i sometimes combine and add red and green cabbage*
1 1 onion, slicde in thin rings - cut rings 1 or 2 times (if you like the flavor of onions -but not the onions, leave the rings whole and remove before serving)
3/4 c sugar

4. * If desired, add 1 grated carrot and 1 cup diced celery to slaw.
5. NOTE 1: You may add Onion or Italian Dressing -instead of the oil and vinegar (or 1/4 pkg. Onion Dressing), if desired. I like the original recipe -above, myself.
6. NOTE 2: This will keep up to a week in the refrigerator -if it lasts that long.

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables for a more colorful and flavorful slaw. Some good options include carrots, celery, bell peppers, and radishes.
Shred the cabbage and vegetables thinly so that they will absorb the marinade better.
Make sure the marinade is well-balanced, with a good combination of sweet, sour, and savory flavors.
Allow the slaw to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, so that the flavors have time to meld.
Serve the slaw chilled, as this will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.
