After talking about fresh homemade coleslaw in my last post, I’ve decided to post my coleslaw recipe in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  It is always nice to have a side of fresh coleslaw especially with a baked ham.   This recipe is great because you can make it up to 24 hours in advance.  Coleslaw is a great side dish for Thanksgiving and the best part is kids can help! 

COLESLAW RECIPE FOR THANKSGIVING

3 large carrots, grated
1 head green cabbage, shredded or chopped in a food processor
½ cup white vinegar
1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoon whole celery seeds

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar thoroughly for the dressing. In a large bowl, mix carrots and cabbage well, then toss with the salt, pepper and celery seed until evenly distributed. Pour in dressing and toss. Taste and adjust seasoning. Refrigerate (up to 24 hours) in advance of Thanksgiving.

Enjoy!  You find find more Holiday recipes from us at:
