VINEGAR COLESLAW


1 large bag coleslaw cabbage mix
1 cup red bell pepper, finely sliced, 1-inch long pieces
½ cup carrot, finely sliced, 1-inch long pieces
½ cup red/purple onion, finely sliced, 1-inch long pieces
Dressing:
½ cup sugar
½ cup apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup light olive oil
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon celery salt

Mix dressing ingredients in a large bowl and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add cabbage, red bell pepper, carrot and red/purple onion. Toss to coat. Place entire mixture in a plastic zip bag and refrigerate for several hours before serving. Turn bag several times to distribute dressing evenly.

Delicious served on or alongside pork barbecue sandwiches -- especially Eastern North Carolina Barbecue!
