Cabbage salad- possibly related to Carolina Slaw

because it's never too late for another cabbage recipe. thanks to Jeannette

1 head of cabbage shredded—about medium size

1 large carrot shredded—I used the large holed grater

1 large green pepper shredded—same technique as above—this gets a little messy by hand and the pepper breaks but it works okay.

1 small onion minced

Dressing:

1 cup of white vinegar or cider vinegar—I use cider

2 TBSP of sugar—many of the recipes call for as much as a ½ cup—this amount leaves it tart

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp celery seeds

Salt to taste, black pepper, if you want

2/3 cup of vegetable or canola oil—added last

Combine shredded vegetables in a large bowl.

Combine vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, salt and pepper in a small pan and heat to boiling

Cool dressing to warm and spoon over vegetables while stirring them to incorporate the seeds.

Pour oil over vegetables, continuing to stir.

There are elements of this that are really homestyle. My mom used celery seeds and mustard seeds much more than I do and almost always used cider vinegar.
