The law of slaw

A friend on chemotherapy told me that not much food appeals to her, but for some reason her eyes lit up when I said "coleslaw." I used The Zen of Slaw for starters, then improvised. Here's their guide for a pound of shredded cabbage and one carrot:

1 tablespoon distilled vinegar

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon white sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon celery seeds (not celery salt)

I had a whole cabbage, so I doubled this, using all the mayonnaise we had, without measuring. Then I added a cup of sour cream so I wouldn't have to go to the store for more mayo. 

If you like slaw without mayonnaise, try Mom's slaw.
