July 4th & Coleslaw

Hello and Happy July 4th weekend to everyone! It's been quite a week or two for me with land disputes and photo shoots. I managed to find time yesterday though to clean the house and make my husband a nice dinner. I thought he deserved it as he has been working a lot and dealing with a car that likes to break down lately. Enforced exercise is a good thing (in the summer anyway).
This weekend is for bar-b-ques. How many have you been invited too? Or are you hosting one? I whipped up a coleslaw last night that had me surprised at it's wonderful flavors. Here is the recipe:
Red Cabbage Coleslaw
1/2 head red cabbage (grated with cheese grater)
2 med carrots (grated like cabbage)
Mix following dressing and combine together with cabbage/carrot:
1/3 cup Mayo
1 T Ketchup
1 T Worcestershire sauce
2 T Apple Cider Vinegar
1 T Sugar
1/2 t each of Caraway, Sesame, & Poppy Seeds
Salt & Pepper to taste
I couldn't get enough of this colorful and delicious salad. Oh, if I had some sunflower seeds last night, they would have been thrown in too. I hope you enjoy this salad and all the other goodies at all the other bar-b-ques this summer!
Happy Independence Day!
