Tasty Bites: Mom's Creamy Coleslaw

By Beth V

This recipe has been probably been prepared upwards of 50 times over the years by my sweet mom. She is known for her delicious coleslaw and potato salad. Generally, when asked for a recipe, it goes something like this… add a little of this, until it looks right, then add some of that, taste it and add a little more until it tastes right…you get the idea! So, I undertook to translate her recipe into a written form with actual measurements. This is such a simple and delicious recipe.

Start with 1 average-size head of cabbage. Peel back the tough outer leaves. Cut off the stem and cut the head in half. Cut out the solid white crispy core. Lay the cut-side of the head flat in the cutting board and cut into very thin ribbons.

Turn the cutting board, then cut across going the other direction so that your cabbage is finely chopped.
