Ingredients
- 2 pounds green cabbage (2 heads)
- 2 apples, peeled, cored
- 6 celery stalks
- 6 carrots, peeled
- 1 tablespoon celery seed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups mayonnaise
How to Make
-
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.
