BLUE CHEESE COLESLAW

“Ahhooh… I love that stuff.” This was my husband’s response when I told him about my next posting. There really isn’t a whole lot to say about this posh twist on slaw except that anyone who says they don’t like coleslaw generally likes this. I have no idea where this recipe came from, but people used to beg my mother to make it for almost every summer cookout … So, I will give her all the credit.
Ingredients:

1 x 2lb Head of Cabbage - 6 Cups of Shredded Cabbage; if you want to add color, you can always get red cabbage to give the slaw a visual pop.
8 oz Blue Cheese Crumbles
1/3 cup cider vinegar
¼ tsp of dry mustard
1 tsp of celery seeds
2 large garlic cloves minced
½ tsp of salt
½ tsp of white pepper
2 Tbsp sugar
¼ cup minced or finely chopped white onion
¾ cup of vegetable oil

Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine cabbage and blue cheese. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The dressing is made separately. For the dressing, combine cider vinegar, dry mustard, celery seeds, garlic, salt, pepper, sugar, and onion. As you whisk (or mix with hand blender) these ingredients together, add vegetable oil in a steady stream. Cover and refrigerate overnight. When you are ready to serve, combine dressing with cabbage & blue cheese and toss until well combined. Serve immediately!
