Creole Cole Slaw



This recipe is delicious to eat as a side and goes along perfectly with any seafood.  Especially, any Cajun fare such as jambalaya or craw fish.  If you like hot and spicy, then you will enjoy this cole slaw.



Ingredients:
½ large head cabbage, cored and shredded (approx. 4 cups)
½ c. grated carrot
3 green onions, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ c. sweet pickle relish or chopped sweet pickles
1 t. salt
1 t. black pepper
½ t. cayenne pepper
1½ c. cole slaw dressing or enough mayonnaise/salad dressing to moisten


Core one half of a large head of cabbage.  Remove any blemished outer leaves.  With a sharp knife, shred finely or use a food processor with a slicing blade.  Place in a large bowl.


Grate approximately ½ cup of carrot.  More can be added at your discretion.



Remove root ends of green onions and about half of the green end.  Slice finely and add to the slaw.


Add salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper.



Add diced pickles or relish and clove of minced garlic.

 

Add your favorite slaw dressing or mayonnaise/salad dressing to moisten.  Toss with a spoon to combine, until thoroughly mixed.  Place in a container and lightly sprinkle paprika over the top.  Cover and refrigerate for 3 - 4 hours before serving.  NOTE:  The cabbage will wilt and become more of a homogeneous mixture.
