The Jewish people made this during the great depression and this is one of the original recipes. I substitute cucumber slices for the green peppers as I don’t like green bell pepper.

Ingredients

  • 1 head shredded cabbage- about 2lbs.
  • 3 carrots sliced
  • 2 cucumbers
  • 2 green peppers ( I use sliced cucumbers in place of peppers)
  • 1 large red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 Buch radishes thinly sliced
  • 1/2 bunch celery

Dressing

  • 1 cup vegetable oil( or your preference)
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 10 to 12 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Slice all vegetables and place in a large bowl
  • Mix sugar, salt, and garlic powder in bowl with warm water and stir until dissolved, add the vinegar and oil.
  • Pour dressing over vegetables and mix well, pack into glass jars then divide and pour any remaining dressing evenly into the jars.
  • The dressing is great, it is not to sweet because of the amount of vingar. I do not substitute things for the dressing. Enjoy because this stuff sure is delicious.
