Mama's Coleslaw

This is my family's favorite recipe for coleslaw and I thought maybe ya'll would like it! I had Matt run in Walmart to buy me some cabbage and he came out with a head of red cabbage, which I've never used. It made the coleslaw a pretty purple, and it tasted just the same so that's why I used this picture. I usually us regular cabbage, though. The chicken breast was cooked with a marinade called Grill Mates Mesquite which I find in the gravy mix isle. We all just love it!

1 16 oz bag coleslaw mix (I use a medium head of cabbage)
2 T diced onion
1/2 large carrots shredded
2/3 cup mayo
3 T. Oil
1/3 cup sugar
1 T white vinegar
1/2 tsp celery salt


First, chop you cabbage in a food processor or if you're like me and don't have one, I use a cheese grater. Mix cabbage and onion in a medium sized bowl. In measuring cup mix the rest of the ingredients, and then pour into the cabbage, mixing well. It might not look like it's enough, but once it sets in the fridge for at least two hours before you eat it, it is plenty. Although if you really think it's not enough then just mix up some more of the wet ingredients and add until you think it appears right.
