Twenty-Five Old Italians

Quilters are such generous people. I had this recipe years ago, then somehow lost it. A quilter friend, Sandra, was kind enough to share it again with me. She got it from another quilter, Carolyn, who got it from Emma (I don’t know if Emma quilts, but the odds are pretty high).

Emma’s (and Carolyn’s and Sandra’s and Linda’s) Cole Slaw

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

1 teaspoon celery salt

2 tablespoons white sugar

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1/3 cup white vinegar

2 tablespoons chopped pimento

1/2 cup thinly sliced sweet onion

1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow bell pepper

3 cups shredded cabbage

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients in the order listed. Cover and chill well before serving.
