my son's coleslaw

My son was in the mood for some coleslaw this past cold winter weekend. (He must have had warmer summer picnic days on his mind!)  For dinner, this past Saturday, his request was hamburgers... and what better to go with hamburgers than coleslaw! We looked through my favorite Amish cookbook and found a recipe. Not having all the ingredients my son tweaked it a tad. The results? Fantastic!

So, here his recipe for super easy, yummy, coleslaw. Enjoy!

Coleslaw

1 small head of cabbage, shredded
1 small carrot, grated
1/2 cup chopped celery

Dressing

1 cup light mayo (the recipe calls for Miracle Whip..but, we chose mayo)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon celery seed

Shred cabbage into bite sized pieces. Grate carrot. Mix together. Mix dressing and add to cabbage mixture. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. You can make this WELL ahead of time and it tastes even BETTER!
