Cabbage is an inexpensive vegetable and is a great side dish. Since it is winter and many fresh vegetables are out of season, try to use more “cold weather” vegetables. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and potatoes all are reasonably priced and good choices in the winter months.
Recipe: Vinegar Cole Slaw
Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup white vinegar
- 1 tsp celery seeds
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- 1 jar sliced green olives
- 1 bag cabbage “Cole Slaw” mix: cabbage, red cabbage, & carrots (or you can use plain cabbage and/or cut it yourself)

I have always wanted to make a homemade cole slaw. I love cole slaw but it’s so hard to find one with the right balance of vinegar. Love that you use green olives-yum! Thanks for linking up with us.
