Kraut Salat

~from Mom~

Last, but not least, this is my grandmother's recipe. Oma Lukas was an excellent cook! I have never found cole slaw prepared this way. For me it was trial and error lead by my memories and taste. Good luck!

Wash and slice cabbage fine. Place in bowl, sprinkle with salt and pound with a mallet. Let rest for a time. Stir and pound again until cabbage is tender. I found that this depends on how finely the cabbage is shredded. Liquids will form in the bowl from tender cabbage.

Drain cabbage and wring out all excess liquid. Dress with either heavy or light whipping cream, about 1 T. apple cider vinegar, white pepper and sugar to taste. Pour over cabbage and mix well. Refrigerate. Mix well again before serving.

Creamy Coleslaw

Combine 1 (16-oz) package carrot-and-cabbage coleslaw, 1/2 cup sliced red onions, 1/4 cup light cream, 1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Toss to combine.

Easy and delicious!

6 oz. Cheddar cheese (medium, sharp), grated or diced

1/3 cup sugar
1Tbsp vinegar

--Thanks to Suzi, I've found that chopping the broccoli and the onion in the food processor works very well, and makes this fast and easy to make.
