As a change from mayonnaise-laden slaw, I created this refreshing alternative. It uses many of the garden vegetables I grow, so itâs also economical. I serve it at our family reunion each Fourth of July, and itâs always a big hit at church socials. Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar |
3/4 cup white vinegar |
1/3 cup canola oil |
1 tablespoon water |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional |
1 package (14 ounces) coleslaw mix |
2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped |
1 large onion, chopped |
1 small green pepper, chopped |
1 small sweet red pepper, chopped |
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, oil, water, salt, pepper and pepper flakes if desired. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Cook 2 minutes longer or until sugar is dissolved. Cool to room temperature, stirring several times.
2. In a large salad bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, tomatoes, onion, peppers and pickle relish. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Serve with a slotted spoon. Yield: 10-12 servings.
