Cole Slaw

I'm not a fan of over-mayonnaisy cole-slaw -- I like mine a bit more savory.   That being said, there are great commercial cole-slaws, and virtually every deli case has a good variety too.   But if you want to make your own, this is an easy and delicious recipe.

1 bag of pre-shredded cabbage (there's absolutely no reason to shred your own -- these bags are about $1.20 and really fresh -- take it easy on yourself!)
2 heaping tablespoons mayo ( I always use low fat)
1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1/4 tsp kosher salt
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 pinches of celery seed
1 pinch of sugar
1 tablespoon milk

Whisk all the ingredients together other than the cabbage, and then thoroughly mix it with the cabbage.  Be sure to make this at least 3-4 hours in advance as the salt will release some moisture from the cabbage and help develop the taste of the dressing.
