BAHAMIAN COLESLAW
I got this from a lady who was a native of the island of Abaco in the Bahamas, she was the best cook on the island. It is better after it sits for a day or so. I use low fat mayo, but it's really good with the real deal. I'm unsure of how much this actually makes, so the serving number is just a guess, but it makes alot.

COLESLAW - BAHAMIAN STYLE!
This recipe is from transitionfarm.com and is from Long Island, part of the Out Islands in the Bahamas. Keep it in a glass jar with a lid in the refrigerator. This is an excellent dressing alone for cucumbers and onions, or beets and onions. A bit of it is wonderful with sauteed red cabbage, sauteed greens, or in potato salad.

MIKE MILLS' CRUNCHY COLE SLAW ? (A VARIATION IT INSPIRED)
In his book "Peace, Love, & Barbecue" (a highly recommended buy) Mike shares a recipe for a simple vinegar-based slaw that is very popular at his 17th Street Bar & Grill. I love that it stays crunchy even if not used right away. (I've had it keep well up to a week.) His recipe makes enough for 10-12, and since there are ONLY two slaw lovers in the house, it is a bit too much except for big holidays. I would definitely use HIS recipe in the book for festive gatherings! So inspired by it, I have adapted & changed it for convenience (use slaw mix) and a smaller quantity. It is a key ingredient in my favorite new sandwich... The Young Reuben. Make your favorite Reuben but substitute this "young" slaw for the "aged" sauerkraut! I suspect a respectable "creamy" slaw could be made using this recipe by adding a little mayo or sour cream to taste & reducing the amount of vinegar by at least half.

Steps:
- Combine the slaw mix, bell pepper, and onion in a large mixing bowl & mix well. (Be sure to use one large enough to allow mixing well while adding the dressing.).
- Prepare the dressing by mixing together all the ingredients in a 2-cup measuring cup and whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
- Pour 1/3 of the dressing onto the slaw & mix well.
- Repeat adding the dressing and mixing well until all dressing is used.
- This dressing will draw moisture from the slaw mix over time so do not worry that the slaw is not flooded with dressing. Just stir the slaw in the bowl several times to assure good marination -- or agitate several times in a storage container to mix the slaw with the dressing.
- Cooking time is chill time -- minimum of 2 hours before serving!
- This will serve hearty slaw eaters 4 servings.
Tips:
- For a creamier coleslaw, use half mayonnaise and half sour cream or yogurt.
- To make a tangier coleslaw, add a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice.
- For a sweeter coleslaw, add a tablespoon of sugar or honey.
- For a spicier coleslaw, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- For a more colorful coleslaw, add some shredded carrots, red cabbage, or bell peppers.
- To make a healthier coleslaw, use low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise and yogurt, and omit the sugar.
