this is only my second attempt at making cole slaw so i am proud of how it turned out, especially if you consider that my first batch of slaw was peanut butter based.
i found this recipe on the food network and gave it a try:
dressing
- 3 tbls sugar
- kosher salt
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 tsp celery seeds
- 1 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- ground pepper
- 3 tbls dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
salad
- bell peppers cut into thin strips
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 4 scallions, chopped
- 1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
i'm not sure if someone made a typo or if someone didn't text this recipe before posting it but it is WRONG! as i've mentioned i am not one to measure ingredients (unless it's for baking purposes) but this time i figured that the fail proof plan would be to follow it exactly. i'd like to report that my fail proof plan failed indeed but only because the food network failed me. after i was kindly told by brenda that there was no saving the dressing i started a new batch. i used all the same ingredients but this time i didn't measure and i definitely didn't add 1/2 cup of vinegar. as for the veggies i added purple cabbage along side the green for some added color. the end product was a sucess but it did take some adjustments to get there.
