October will herald Unusual Coleslaw's seventh year of blogging, so I think it is time to dig into the archives in search of a month or so of memorable posts. Where it all began:
Unusual Coleslaw
1 cabbage
3 carrots
2 capsicums
3 onions
4 celery sticks
1 cup sugar
1 cup vinegar
3/4 cup salad oil
1 tspn salt
1 tspn mustard
1 tspn celery seed
Method: Shred cabbage finely, grate carrot. Dice remaining vegetables finely. Place together in large bowl. Sprinkle 1 cup sugar over vegetables. Boil together salad oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and celery seed. Pour over vegetables. DO NOT STIR. Cool. Cover bowl with a lid and leave in fridge for 24 hours. Mix and pour off excess liquid before serving.

Congratulations Vicki, I'm making the Unusual Coleslaw today to celebrate! I'll email you a photo of this accomplishment, Best Wishes Anne
ReplyDelete@Anne: I've very excited to see what you think. I have made this one, and, actually, it's pretty good - which captures how these recipes often have good 'bones' but can be let down by things like poor ingredient choices.
