" A sweet summer slaw filled with fresh vegetables. It tastes even better the second day after the vegetables have soaked in the marinade. "Refrigerate the Cole Slaw for a minimum of 2 hours before serving - the longer the Cole Slaw is in refrigerator, the better the Cole Slaw becomes.
This sweet and tangy slaw must be made a day in advance and can last in the refrigerator for a week or two. Since it does not use any mayonnaise or buttermilk, it is perfect to bring to an outdoor or indoor feast.
Yield: 8 servings.
