Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons minced onion
- 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
- ½ cup ketchup
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup oil such as vegetable or canola oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 medium head cabbage shredded (or 1 14-ounce bag of pre-shredded coleslaw mix)
- 1 onion finely diced
- 3-4 carrots shredded
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, whisk together sugar, garlic salt, minced onion, paprika, ketchup, vinegar, and oil. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute, whisking the entire time. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely in the refrigerator (at least 4 hours, or overnight). Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Combine all vegetables in a large bowl and pour cooled dressing over top. Note: you will not need all of the dressing, so I suggest that you add the dressing slowly until the vegetables are coated completely, but not too soggy. You can keep any extra sauce in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and use it as a salad dressing, as a marinade for chicken, or as a stir-fry sauce.
- Serve coleslaw immediately, or allow to chill for a few hours.
