My Favourite American Coleslaw
250ml Vegetable oil
200g Sugar
250ml Cider Vinegar
2 tsp American Mustard
50g Sweet pickle relish
2 tsp Celery seeds
1 Large head green cabbage – chopped or shredded
2 Bell Peppers – chopped
1 Large sweet onion - chopped
Salt and Fresh ground black pepper to taste
In a small saucepan combine the oil, sugar, vinegar and mustard. Bring to boil and boil for about 5 minutes. Stir in the pickle relish and celery seed. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a large bowl, mix together the cabbage, pepper, onion, salt and pepper..
Pour the cooled dressing over the cabbage mixture. Mix well. Chill.
Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour (tastes better if made the day before to allow flavours to mellow). Mix again before serving.
