Classic Cole Slaw

This is my mother's recipe and when I was a kid I preferred it sweeter. But now that I'm an adult, I only use a dash of sugar to offset the vinegar. I also often use bagged fresh shredded cabbage and carrots to save time.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups coleslaw (1 bag) or 1/2 head shredded cabbage & 2 grated carrots
  • 1 cup fresh spinach torn into small pieces
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon caraway seeds optional
  • 1 cup raisins optional

Instructions

  1. Stir all the ingredients together in a large bowl until well mixed. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

  2. My kids hate caraway seeds and raisins so I often divide the cabbage and make two salads - 1 for the adults with caraway and raisins and 1 salad for the kids without those ingredients. But sometimes I just make them eat raisins because I'm not in the mood to cater to them. LOL.
