This recipe was given to my mother by a dear friend. I use pre-packaged slaw mix that has the carrots already in it and just add the onions. Also, I use Canola oil instead of Crisco. This can be made "days" in advance as it gets better as it sits.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 (1 lb) packages coleslaw mix
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 cup cider vinegar
2/3 cup Crisco cooking oil (I use canola oil)

Directions

1
Bring to boil, cider vinegar, oil, sugar, salt & garlic powder, stirring.
2
Pour the hot dressing over the 2 lbs of cabbage mixture and onions and stir (It will look like there is not enough dressing for the amount of cabbage, but as the cabbage breaks down, you will have plenty).
3
Cover tightly.
4
Let sit on the counter for 2 hours (stirring occasionaly during the 2 hours while it marinates), then refrigerate.

Delish! Very tart and tasty. I liked it the next day and days after as the flavor just kept getting better. I'll make this again. UPDATE: made this for a huge gathering with brats in beer and German potato salad. Guests piled their brats with this and were amazed. I made a double batch and was glad I did! Everyone raved about this delicious slaw. Merlot, this is the bomb!

Great tasting slaw. The only thing that keeps me from leavng 5 stars is the fact that there is way to much dressing. I had to drain so much off and sqeeze a bunch out. Other than that the tastes was fantastic. I will definetly make again, just using half the marinade.

This is Excellent!! I had questions and asked Merlot about it. She uses 2 bags of slaw mix, and stirs it occasionally while marinating. Also, when you first combine the dressing with the slaw mix it Does Not look like there’s enough dressing, but there is Plenty. It also sounds like a lot of salt, but it was just fine. I made ½ the recipe, (there's just 2 of us tonight) and forgot to halve the garlic powder, but it was not too much garlic for us. Thank-you Merlot for sharing this wonderful recipe!

Well, another winner Merlot! I made this tonight to go with our BBQ burgers, we just loved it..I was tired of all the creamy dressing coleslaw, and this just hit the spot...I however, only used 1 package of coleslaw, and cut the dressing recipe in half, and only used about 1/2 cup sugar, I also used green onions instead of regular onions.... and marinated it as stated on the counter for a couple of hours, I think that is the secret to this delicious coleslaw!...this is a keeper, I will definatley make this again, we sure enjoyed it...thanks for posting Merlot...great coleslaw recipe!...KC
