Coleslaw Sweet and Tangy

Ingredients

• ¼ cup cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ¼ teaspoon celery seed
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 large carrot, peeled and grated

Directions

1. Combine ¼ cup vinegar, oil, celery seed and pepper.

3. While the mixture chills, toss cabbage with ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a large microwave-safe bowl.
4. Cover with a large plate and microwave on high power for about 1 to 2 minutes, until cabbage is partially wilted and has reduced in volume by 1/3.
5. Transfer cabbage to a salad spinner and spin until excess water is removed, 10-20 seconds.
6. Remove bowl from freezer, add cabbage and carrot, and toss to combine.
7. Refrigerate until chilled, about 15 minutes. Toss again before serving.
