MARINATED COLESLAW



Marinated Coleslaw image

This recipe was given to my mother by a dear friend. I use pre-packaged slaw mix that has the carrots already in it and just add the onions. Also, I use Canola oil instead of Crisco. This can be made "days" in advance as it gets better as it sits.

2 (1 lb) packages coleslaw mix
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 cup cider vinegar
2/3 cup Crisco cooking oil (I use canola oil)

Steps:

  • Bring to boil, cider vinegar, oil, sugar, salt & garlic powder, stirring.
  • Pour the hot dressing over the 2 lbs of cabbage mixture and onions and stir (It will look like there is not enough dressing for the amount of cabbage, but as the cabbage breaks down, you will have plenty).
  • Cover tightly.
  • Let sit on the counter for 2 hours (stirring occasionaly during the 2 hours while it marinates), then refrigerate.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 1 large bowl salad, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup oil
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 quarts shredded green cabbage
1 small onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) jar pimiento, chopped

Steps:

  • Mix vinegar, sugar, oil, mustard, celery seed, salt and pepper. Pour over cabbage, onion, and pimiento; toss to mix well. Cover and chill at least 24 hours. Salad keeps 3-4 days in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both. Red cabbage will give your coleslaw a beautiful purple hue.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly. This will help the dressing to penetrate the cabbage and give your coleslaw a more delicate texture.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage. This will help to prevent the cabbage from bruising.
  • Add other vegetables to your coleslaw. Some popular additions include carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Chill the coleslaw before serving. This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.
