Easy Slaw

4 large carrots shredded
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup oil
salt and pepper to taste.

In a small bowl combine the vinegar, sugar and oil. Heat to boiling in the microwave. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool. In a larger bowl with a tight fitting lid shred the cabbage and carrots. pour the dressing mix over. Put on lid and shake the bowl 8 or 10 times. Chill overnight. You may have to drain the salad before serving the next day. This slaw is great on hot dogs or hamburgers and keeps very well especially if you have not drained it.


Waldorf Slaw

3 cups of shredded cabbage
2 shredded carrots
1 cup of diced apple with the skin on
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
mayonnaise

Dice the apple and toss it with the lemon juice to keep it from going brown. Drain before adding to the slaw. Shred the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Add the walnuts, and the drained apple. Add just enough mayonnaise to coat the ingredients. I just add it a tablespoon at a time. Chill for an hour at least before serving.
