Sweet and Sour Cole Slaw
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons white wine champagne vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Miracle Whip Do not substitute
- 5 ounces sour cream
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 1 head cabbage
- 1-2 leaves red cabbage
- 3 large carrots
- 3-4 green onions
- 3-4 celery stalks
Instructions
- Rub salad bowl and the inside of the lid with all of the garlic cloves(save garlic). Cover bowl and let stand in the refrigerator as long as possible, overnight is best. Shred all of the vegetables as small as possible and chop up left over garlic.
- Combine all of the sauce ingredients together and stir until the vegetables are creamy with the sauce. Place vegetables in the garlic marinated bowl and stir well. Cover and let stand in the refrigerator until cool. This gets better as the salad marinates together. This salad will keep good in the fridge for 5 - 6 days and can be frozen for later use.

How important is the white wine champagne vinegar? Can any other vinegar be substituted? I’m having a hard time finding white wine champagne vinegar in my local stores and don’t want to order online for just one recipe. Otherwise, the recipe is awesome!

You can use regular white vinegar. The recipe gets about 90% of the way there with plain white vinegar.

I love Ott’s dressing on cabbage. A STL area bottled dressing. If you freeze this dressing doesn’t it go soggy?
Stephanie
I don’t know if it goes soggy when you freeze it. I have never tried to freeze it before.
