Creamy Lemon and Caper Coleslaw

[Guest guest]

OK y'all! Don't die of shock! I'm actually posting a recipe!

 

I finally made a batch of coleslaw the way my Mom makes it, so I could

try to write a recipe for it. So do understand that the ingredient

measurements are not written in stone--please tweak! I think the main

thing is that whatever mayo you use it shouldn't be the salad dressing

style that is sweet. And I use more than a tsp of salt, but I'm a salt

freak. Bad.....I know. Paula

 

 

Creamy Lemon and Caper Coleslaw

 

1 head cabbage finely sliced and chopped

1/2 cup finely minced onion

1/2 cup lemon or lime juice

1 cup mayonnaise (I use lowfat mayonnaise with just a few Tbsp " real "

mayonnaise mixed in for the flavor)

2 Tbsp capers slightly mashed and some of the juice from the caper jar

1 tsp salt and some shakes of black pepper

 

Mix ingredients together and chill thoroughly. Really good the next day.

Yum! This sounds so good, Paula. i am a total coleslaw freak,

especially now that the weather is hot and i am craving cool

salads. i can't wait to try this.

 

i enjoy putting coleslaw in veggie wrap sandwiches, and i even

like it as a topping on veggie burgers and dawgs. Anyone else

do that? My kids think it is weird.
