Gilmore House Cole Slaw ( from Bud’s sister’s mother-in-law )
Ingredients: serves 4
3 c green cabbage shredded small
or
2 c green cabbage and 1 c red cabbage shredded small
2 tbsp red onion sliced thin chopped small
2 tbsp celery sliced thin chopped small
2 tbsp carrot shredded chopped small
1/4 c mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 tbsp ranch dressing
1/4 tsp celery seed
1/4 tsp mustard seed
1/4 tsp black pepper fine
1/8 tsp salt
------------
place the vegetables and the dry seasonings in a large bowl mix well
add the ranch dressing and half the mayo mix well
now you decide when the mixture is moist enough add the remaining mayo a little at a time and mix well stop when you reach the consistency you like
once the salad is thoroughly mixed transfer it to a glass or stainless steel bowl and refrigerate at least 2 hours
don’t make more than you need for 1 day because the mayonnaise will break down ( the salad will get watery ) fairly quickly
Enjoy Bud
