We love the way this classic coleslaw manages to be sweet, savory, tangy, and creamy all in a single bite! Try it on pulled pork sandwiches or as a side to fried fish.

Ingredients
3-1/2 cups finely shredded green or purple cabbage
2 large carrots, peeled and grated
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 small white or sweet onion, grated
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon whole caraway seeds
Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions

In a large bowl, toss together cabbage, carrots, and green pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss well. Let sit at least 20 minutes before serving.

TMI Guys,
I'm just a dude (or dud), I want to do a lot of what you offer. There is a will, but no way, I'm just one guy living in a apartment facing north. Everything you offer is great, if you have a family. If you don't (I don't), well Burger King is easier, not as good, not even close, but you do your best with what you got. Hopefully, as time goes on I might find something I can do, canning is one of my thoughts but botox is always in the back of my mind. Sorry & Thanx, Danny
