Answer 1

Buy a head of cabbage, pull off & discard the outside leaves, then cut away a thin slice from the end of the core. Doing all this gets rid of the blemished & dirty parts of the cabbage. Rinse the head of cabbage in cool water.

With a large sharp wide-bladed knife (makes the cutting easier) cut the head in half from the top straight down through the middle & through the core. Lay one of the halves of the cabbage head down on its freshly cut flat side on a cutting board. With the knife you used to cut it in half start shredding cabbage (core as well as the leaves) finely or coarsely, whichever you prefer. You can, of course, shred the whole head or any part of it...whatever you need. Cabbage, cut or uncut, will keep in the refrigerator for several days, if kept covered. Place the shredded cabbage into a bowl large enough to allow you to toss or stir the cabbage & dressing. Sprinkle salt over all, & mix to make sure salt is evenly distributed throughout all the cabbage (use your hands to do this, it's easier & very efficient for the job). Cover the bowl & set aside while you make the dressing.

MY MOM'S COLESLAW DRESSING
(Note: It's impossible for me to give exact measurements, because my mother never used them either, & she taught me. I just eye it & taste it as I go....but, I'll do my best.)

In a small bowl, pour 1 can evaporated milk (that is the UNsweetened kind) & 2 tablespoons cider vinegar (not the white vinegar), stir well, then let it sit for a just a minute or two to let the milk thicken. Then add granulated sugar a tablespoon at a time, stirring to dissolve the sugar & tasting the dressing after adding each spoonful of sugar.....do this until you get it to an acceptable sweetness for your taste (or bf's taste..........if nothing else, have him do the tasting). When it reaches the desired sweetness pay attention to the tanginess. If it's not tangy enough add another tablespoon of cider vinegar, stir & taste. Again, follow these steps until the dressing is tangy enough.

Stir well, then pour dressing over the top of the shredded & salted cabbage....remember this amount of dressing is enough to do a whole medium to large size head of cabbage.

Refrigerate for atleast 2 hours, because as with all slaws, it tastes best when very cold, & the flavors have had time to meld well.

Note: If you are fixing less than a full head of cabbage then you won't want to use a full recipe of the dressing. In that case, you might want to fix only half the amount of ingredients. If so, pour half of the evaporated milk into a glass or plastic container that has a tight fitting lid, & place it in the fridge. It will keep for several days, & can be used in other recipes, as well as coffee, etc.

Tip: You can skip all of the shredding instructions, if you like, by purchasing shredded cabbage in a bag at the grocery store. I don't like the store-bought as well my freshly cut....it doesn't seem to be as fresh, but it works in a pinch. Just toss it with salt, add the dressing (as given above), cover & refrigerate.

My mother always made our meals with great love for all of us, & I have always tried to do the same for my hubby of 43yrs. & our 5 children. I hope this has been of help to you!

Answer 2

There are two standard ways that we serve coleslaw in our home, one with mayo and one without. They are both delicious, and both make a wonderful accompaniment to seafood dishes. We also love them with hot dogs.

Cabbage, either green or purple or both
Carrot
Green onion

For Mayo version:
Mayonnaise
Yellow mustard
Pepper

For Non-mayo version:
Rice vinegar or white vinegar
Sugar
Salt and pepper

Starting with a head or half a head of cabbage, thinly slice the cabbage until you have approximately 4 cups (not packed) of sliced cabbage. Julienne a half of a carrot. Thinly slice a couple green onions.

For the mayo dressing version, add 3 Tbsp mayo, 1/2 teaspoon of yellow mustard and mix in with the cabbage, carrot, and onions. Add pepper to taste.

For the non-mayo version, add a couple tablespoons of rice vinegar. Sprinkle with sugar, salt, and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately. Serves 4.

Answer 3

if you make it from scratch, get a head of cabage and take the heart out (the stem all the way through) shave it thin and chop it small don't leave it in long strands.
put you some mayo in the bowl a touch of mustard and a pinch of suger to knock the tart out of the mustard.
mix it all up and chill in the frig.
