"The Carter family had many versions of coleslaw. The food processor is going to be your friend with this recipe. The recipe itself is very funny. Don't bother (making the salad) if the cabbage is the white limp variety - your slaw won't be worth the making."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cut the cabbage in quarters and place in a large bowl of well-salted cold water, and let stand for at least 1 hour.
Step 2
This is to make sure any possible "critters" emerge - nothing spoils good slaw like a many-footed friend. Once soaked, drain and place the cabbage on a large chopping board and chop away like mad.
Step 3
The cabbage must be very finely shredded.
Step 4
Dump into a big bowl and shred (food processor) the apples, celery, and carrots.
Step 5
Add to cabbage, stir in celery seed, salt, pepper and mayonnaise, and blend well.(Add more mayonnaise if needed)
Step 6
Season to taste
Step 7
Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to mellow.
Step 8
If slaw is to be transported to fish fry site, keep very cold - mayonnaise mixture can be deadly if allowed to stand too long at room temperature.
