24 Hour Slaw
Why I Love This Recipe
We are into the 4th generation of my family with this recipe. This is a very different cole slaw from the kind you typically see made with mayonaisse or a mayonaisse type of slaw dressing. I think if you try it, you will like it. We make this and the traditional mayonaisse based cole slaw in our family depending on our mood.
