Coleslaw (Amish)

Sometimes it's nice to have a non-mayonnaise coleslaw like this one from Lizzie's Amish Cookbook. Interestingly, "coleslaw" comes from the Dutch "koolsla" meaning cabbage salad. Also, kohl is a German word for cabbage.

1 head young cabbage
½ cup cream
1 tsp. sea salt
½ cup sugar
½ cup vinegar

Beat cream, sugar, vinegar and salt together thoroughly until the dressing is like whipped cream. Discard outer leaves of cabbage. Shred the rest finely and combine with dressing just before it is ready to serve.

Makes 6 servings.

Cook’s Notes: Add shredded green and red peppers.
