Nutty Cole Slaw

Nutty Cole Slaw

I love cole slaw and enjoy it both as a side salad or on sandwiches. I was making cole slaw and decided to add some peanuts. I enjoyed the crunch they added to the dish. I must confess, if I had cashews I would have used them instead, but the peanuts were great, too. This salad would make a nice addition to your holiday menu.

Nutty Cole Slaw

6-8 cups finely sliced cabbage

2/3 c. mayo, you can add a little more if you like- I don’t like a lot of dressing on mine

1/4 c. cider vinegar

1/4 c. sugar

1 t. celery seeds

1/2 c. peanuts, or more

Place cabbage in mixing bowl. In a small bowl combine the rest of the ingredients, except the peanuts, and stir until smooth. Pour over the cabbage and toss to coat. Chill. Add peanuts just before serving.

I got this recipe from a friend many years ago. We made it in class the other night. It’s a nice variation on a salad I enjoy a lot of different ways. The crunch of the cabbage goes well with the sweetness of the fruit. Since cabbage is on sale everywhere lately I thought I would share the recipe with you.
