original recipe courtesy copykat, 1999
1 head of cabbage
1/2 medium to large carrot
1/2 green pepper
1 cup miracle whip
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
1/8 cup canola oil
shred or thinly slice cabbage, green pepper and carrot. (alternatively you can use 2 bags of prepared, shredded cole slaw and add thinly sliced/diced green pepper.)
mix miracle whip, vinegar, and oil, sugar. mix smooth. taste should be sweet with just a hint of vinegar. amount of slaw dressing may be increased or decreased according to the amount of slaw you are making.
add half of the vinaigrette mixture to dry slaw and mix well. let stand at minimum one hour to let flavors mix and for the sauce to soften/wilt the cabbage and carrots a bit. if necessary, add additional vinaigrette, keeping in mind that as the slaw chills, the cabbage will continue to wilt.
