I got a newsletter, that had a simple "3" ingredient slaw recipe in it. It went like this: 4 to 5 cups finely chopped or shredded Cabbage (approximately 1 whole small head) 1 cup white vinegar and 1 cup sugar. Mix together well in a bowl, put a lid on it and chill overnight. I suggested to a friend, we could try the same method as Helene Mulvihill for her "Deli Mac Salad". She boils the vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves into the vinegar. My friends, Mary, said, "Hey Cin I make this slaw all the time 'except' I use a few more ingredients". I call it: Mary's "Deli Slaw"
