Coleslaw

Another vinegar-based take. Not to be pedantic, but the “small batch” version’s proportions are different, so it’ll end up being substantially sweeter.

We (very briefly) discussed coleslaw’s origin before in the recipe for cole slaw dressing from Kent, Ohio.

From the box of D.W. from Cedar Falls, Iowa.
