MOM'S CHOPPED COLESLAW
For Friday dinners, my mother made coleslaw to go with our fish. It's still a family tradition, and the tangy dressing even works on a tossed salad. -Cynthia McDowell, Banning, California

Steps:
- 1. Combine cabbage, carrot and onion in large bowl (preferably one with a cover).
- 2. Place vinegar, oil, all the sugar, salt, and mustard into saucepan. Bring to a full boil.
- 3. Pour hot vinegar mixture over cabbage. Toss well (I use a bowl with a lid, and "shake" as my version of tossing).
- 4. Chill, covered in the fridge. If you give it a toss every day, it will keep for a couple of weeks.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and other vegetables. This will help them absorb the dressing better and make the coleslaw more crisp and refreshing.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with a shredding blade. Just be careful not to over-process the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
- For a creamier coleslaw, use mayonnaise-based dressing. For a lighter, more vinegary coleslaw, use a vinegar-based dressing.
- Add some shredded carrots, red onion, or bell pepper to the coleslaw for extra color and flavor.
- If you're making the coleslaw ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will meld together over time, making the coleslaw even more delicious.
Conclusion:
Mom's Chopped Coleslaw is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy dressing, crisp cabbage, and sweet carrots, this coleslaw is a refreshing and flavorful addition to any barbecue, picnic, or potluck.
