Cole Slow from Green Cabbage

I have been making a lot of Cole Slow because it's fresh, quick, and easy to make from the green cabbage that I still have in the garden.  Grated green cabbage alone makes for excellent slow but a carrot and/or red cabbage will add a hint of color.   have used finely minced white onions from the garden.

I grate as much cabbage, carrots, and onions as needed for two people at one meal.  I try to avoid left overs.

To make the dressing, I mix mayonnaise with a little bit of fat free milk to keep the calories down (ha!).  Some cooks like to add a pinch of sugar into the mix while others like a pinch of salt.  The salt draws the liquid out of the cabbage and I believe that makes the slow soggy.  Others believe it makes the slow crispier.

My husband likes to have a tad of homemade minced watermelon rind and its juiced mixed into the slow.

Cole slow goes well with any meat, fish, or poultry.  It makes for a nutritious side dish to enjoy.
