Creamy Cole Slaw

Here is my favorite recipe for cole slaw.
An excellent way to add raw cabbage
to your dietand therefore add more fiber.

Ingredients:
2 pound cabbage
2 large carrots
1 medium red pepper
1 medium green pepper
1/3 teaspoon celery seeds
3/4 cups apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar

Directions:
Warm the sugar and vinegar until sugar dissolves. Stir gently.
Shred the cabbage and carrots using a grater.
Allow the sugar and vinegar mixture to cool.
Then pour mixture over the cabbage and carrot mixture.
Chop the peppers into small pieces. I slice them as thinly
as I can. Then,I chop these slices. The peppers are for flavor,
but they are also for color. The same is true for the carrots.
Mix the chopped peppers, the salt, and celery seeds into the
cabbage mixture. Pour the whole thing into a bowl, cover, and
allow to settle. I put mine in the refrigerator overnight to
allow the flavors to blend. This is very important with many
dishes. The longer you allow it to just sit, the more the
flavors mix.
