Amanda's Quick & Super Easy Coleslaw


Amanda's Quick & Super Easy Coleslaw
Yields: 4 servings
1/2 of a small head of Cabbage; rinsed and finely chopped
3 tbs. lemon juice (freshly squeezed preferable)
6 large tablespoons of mayonnaise
2  1/2  tbs. ground black pepper; or more or less to taste
2 tsp. granulated sugar
3 tbs. salt; or more or less to taste
3 tbs. milk
1/2 tsp. vinegar; or more or less to taste
1 apple; cored and finely chopped
Parsley;  generous amount and some more for garnish
2 shakes of garlic powder

Mix all of the ingredients together. Add more of less seasonings to taste, accommodating your own preferences.



For the ingredients in this recipe, I bought from three local grocery stores including Super Wal-Mart (WM), Star Wood Food Market (SW), and Aldi's (A).

1 small head of cabbage (A)                             $1.49
jar of Hellman's Mayonnaise (WM)                    $3.98
'5th Season' Dried Parsley Flakes Seasoning (WM)   $0.50
'5th Season' Garlic Powder Seasoning (WM)          $0.50
Pack of 4 Apples (SW)                                   $0.99
2% Gallon of Milk (A)                                   $2.59
4 lb. bag of Domino Sugar (WM)                      $2.62

Typically, you shouldn't need to buy the following ingredients too often and should always keep it in stock: Mayonnaise, parsley flake seasoning, garlic powder seasoning, milk, sugar, salt, pepper, vinegar (of some kind), and some kind of lemon juice (that stays good in the fridge for long periods of time before expiring).

For this wholesome and versatile side dish, I spent only around $2.50 on the cabbage and an apple. This is my first time ever attempting coleslaw so there is plenty of room for alterations or improvements. I kind of created this to my husband and my tastes. I paired it with a delicious medium-rare steak (WM for $11.49 for two NY Strips for two people) and some frozen seasoned French Fries (WM for $2.00 to $2.50). I used what I had on hand and just tasted... tasted... tasted; to find my desired medium.

Hope you enjoy as much as we did!
