Ingredients

4 to 5 cups shredded cabbage, about 1 medium head

1 medium green pepper, thinly sliced

3 carrots, coarsely shredded

2 tablespoons grated sweet onion

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup vinegar

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Miracle whip or mayonnaise if desired

Preparation

In a large bowl, toss cabbage, green pepper, carrots, and onion. Cover and chill thoroughly. In a small bowl, combine sugar, salt, vinegar, and oil. Pour over vegetables and toss before serving. If creamier coleslaw is desired, stir in some mayonnaise, a little at a time, until creamy. Makes about 5 to 6 cups of coleslaw.
