Lighter slaw you will not find. Not the creamy heavy normal slaw.

How To Make sweet-sour coleslaw

Step 1

In a bowl large enough for the whole shootin' match, whisk together the dressing. Don't skip the mustard. It's the secret ingredient that gives it life. And make sure all the lumps are whisked out.

Step 2

Decide how you want to cut the cabbage, carrots, and onions: Chopped, grated, or hashed and have at it. I like this recipe best when chopped or grated. now that you've decided, do it.(or cheat and use the bagged stuff)
Step 3

Add the cabbage, carrots, and onions to the bowl with the dressing. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour if possible to extract the flavors from the celery seeds and the vegetables. They will give up some water, so don't worry if the mix seems a bit dry and strong at first. Mix it up occasionally so the dressing doesn't pool at the bottom and taste. You can now add more of the seasonings to your preference.
Step 4

When you serve it, mix thoroughly and scoop from the bottom so the veggies have dressing on them.
