Ingredients

1 head green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked white pepper
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
2 teaspoons celery seeds
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion tops
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

In a large, non-reactive bowl, combine the cabbage, bell pepper, onion and carrot, season with the salt and pepper and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour before proceeding.

Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, sugar, mustard and celery seeds in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir the vinegar periodically to dissolve the sugar. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from the heat. Remove the cabbage from the refrigerator and pour the vinegar over the top of the cabbage. Add the oil, green onions and parsley, and toss well to thoroughly combine.

Cover with plastic wrap and return the cabbage to the refrigerator. Allow slaw to sit for 2 or 3 hours before serving, stirring occasionally. Serve with barbecue.

Outstanding!

This is my favorite cole slaw EVER. I've never had the apple cider vinegar/sugar type before - always been the creamy cole... slaw kind of girl. Not anymore! I want this every day!Read more

YUM!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made just as written, except that I used already shredded cabbage (2 bags) and already grated carrots (1 bag). It does end... with a lot of liquid -- just poured most of it off. This went terrifically with the ribs and potatoes I made... and tasted great days later too!Read more

Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a delicious recipe and a wonderful alternative to mayonnaise-based cole slaws. Because I didn't have time for the... full-blown recipe, I used a bag of cole slaw mix, lowered the amounts of other veggies, and halved the ingredients in the vinegar-based dressing. I didn't have three hours to marinate it, and it still turned out great. It served 4 with leftovers, and probably would have served 6 comfortably. Love this recipe! Read more

I usually like the creamy cole slaw, but this sure is a winner. Just enough tang to go along with grilled brats!!

the is the best cole slaw ever and is a staple at my house. I have tried using a small amount of splenda (1/4 cup)with 3/4... sugar to substitute from using a whole cup of sugar and it works just fine. This just gets better the longer is marinates. Enjoy.Read more
