I found this Mayonnaise less Southern slaw many years ago in the NYT and have been making it ever since. It has become a “hit” at every festive gathering!

Ingredients:

1 head of green cabbage, cored, washed and finely shredded

1 small red onion finely diced

1 red pepper finely diced

1 teaspoon caraway or celery seed

1 teaspoon mustard seed

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup of olive oil

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix together cabbage, onion, and peppers. In a small saucepan, combine the spices, sugar, vinegar and oil. Bring to a boil, and pour over the cabbage mixture. Chill and serve.

Note: I usually drain the liquid off the slaw before serving, then adjust seasoning.
