I Keep Getting Cabbage in My Organics Delivery!

We seem to have a lot of cabbage on hand these days.  I happened upon a great coleslaw recipe last week, varied it a little, and have decided it's a keeper.  The great thing about this coleslaw is that you can keep it in the fridge for 3-5 days, so it's always on hand when you need to add a quick vegetable to a meal.  You can vary the ingredients too, so don't feel tied to this exact recipe - use what's filling up your crisper!

Coleslaw


10-12 cups shredded cabbage (any variety - I like napa)
1-2 carrots, grated
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 red pepper, thinly sliced
optional ingredients:  green pepper, apple, celery

3/4 c vinegar
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c canola oil
2 tsp celery seeds
1 1/2 tsp salt

Toss vegetables (and fruit if using) together in a large bowl.  Heat remaining ingredients together in a saucepan, pour over cabbage mixture and toss well.  Let cool, cover and refrigerate.
