Cole Slaw with Raisins

Cabbage!  Carrots!  Raisins!  Each is tasty & nutritious by itself.  Put them together, add a few other ingredients & an easy salad can be enjoyed at dinner!  Cole Slaw with Raisins is so yummy!

Many years ago, my mother-in-law gave me her delicious, tangy Cole Slaw dressing recipe.  In the past I've purchased the cabbage & the carrots to peel/ shred, but these days a bag of these ready shredded veggies makes this side dish very easy to prep.

If you're waiting for the warmer days when the local salad ingredients will be available at roadside stands to be purchased, but still enjoy fresh salads, make this Cole Slaw.  It's great!  Add the raisins for that extra sweetness.

This dressing also tastes great in Carrot Salad.

I’ll Have a Side of …

Cole Slaw! The Cole Slaw with the Raisins, please! Ah, Raisins give Cole Slaw that extra bit of sweetness to a tangy dressing.

Earlier this week I pulled out a recipe that my mother-in-law gave me three decades ago. How time does fly by! And I thought this week zipped by quickly. My Hubby ate this salad often while growing up.

After locating and purchasing a 1 lb. bag of Cole Slaw at my local grocery store produce department, I was ready. The Cabbage, Carrots and Red Cabbage were pre-cut and ready to use. Raisins, Mayonnaise, Sugar, Milk and Vinegar are staples in my kitchen, so it was a matter of mixing the Dressing Ingredients and pouring them over the Veggies and Raisins. It’s easy. It’s quick. The result is just outstanding! Yummy!
