Good Ole' Fashioned Cole Slaw

I'm sitting here on the deck writing this while relaxing over Memorial Day Weekend.  I just got back from picking up the ingredients for dinner: chicken kabobs on the grill that Meghan requested.  While at the store, I watched as the lines of people were buying cole slaw from the grocery deli.  I don't know about you, but the watery, pale green 'mess' they sell there is just not appealing to me.  Good ole' fashioned cole slaw is soooo easy to make and taste waaaaay better than the store-bought kind.

Dressing:
1 cup mayo
4 Tbls sugar
2 Tbls cider vinegar
1 teas each, salt & pepper
1/2 teas lemon pepper seasoning.


Combine the dressing ingredients in a bowl. Gently toss with the cabbage--it will look like there is not enough liquid--don't worry, the cabbage will break down.  Resist the urge to add more dressing!!--you will only end up with something like you would get at the deli counter!!.  Refrigerate for at least an hour.  Just before serving mix in the scallions and parsley.
2 bags cole slaw mix (or shred your own cabbage & carrots)
2 scallions, chopped (both white and green parts)
1 cups flat-leaf parsley, rough chopped
