My Dad's Favorite Cole Slaw
This is my dad's favorite coleslaw recipe. As a kid, he would make it for summer cookouts growing up in New Jersey. I found it on a piece of yellow notebook paper amongst some boxes after he passed.
I think one of his favorite meals was barbecued chicken, fresh Jersey corn, tomatoes - basil - mozzarella, and this coleslaw.
Hope you enjoy them....RG

Cole Slaw
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- ½ head of cabbage sliced thin
- 4 tablespoons white vinegar
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 scallions chopped
- 1 carrot shredded
- garlic powder to taste
- ½ teaspoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- dash Worcestershire sauce
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- juice ½ lemon
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup raisins
- mayonnaise just enough
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients except for the mayonnaise. Let stand for at least ½ hour before adding the mayonnaise.
- How much mayonnaise you add depends on your personal taste.Some folks, like my dad, like to add lots of mayonnaise. My take on it is you don't want it too dry, but at the same time, too much and all you taste is mayonnaise.
