Sweet Slaw

Source of Recipe


From "A Love Affair with Southern Cooking"



List of Ingredients



• 8 cups (2 quarts) moderately finely grated cabbage (from a 2-1/2- to 2-3/4-pound cabbage)
  
• 3/4 cup firmly packed mayonnaise
  
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  
• 2 Tbsp sugar
  
• 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
  






Instructions



1. Place the cabbage in a large nonreactive bowl. Quickly whisk together all remaining ingredients, pour over the cabbage, and mix well. At first, you may think that there isn't enough dressing. This is because the cabbage will release a fair amount of liquid.
   
   
2. Let the slaw stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, mix well, then cover and refrigerate for several hours.
   
   
3. Stir the slaw well, taste for salt, and adjust as needed, then serve as an accompaniment to fried chicken, fried fish or shellfish, or any kind of barbecue.
   
   Makes 6 to 8 servings.
