Coleslaw

We had pork barbecue dinner southern style the other night and I made this coleslaw to go with it. If you love creamy, tart and sweet -style coleslaw then you have to make this one sometimes. My mom-in law had taught me how to make real southern style coleslaw.

If you have food processor then you can use it to chop your vegetables. I have one but decided not to use it because I am only making for two persons. I did not add any green pepper too for some reason.

1/4 cup mayonnaise (or to taste)

Preparation:

1. Mix chopped cabbage, carrot, bell pepper and onion in a large bowl. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, stir together all dressing ingredients until combined.
