Thanksgiving Yumminess

Many people have different foods that are staples in their traditional Thanksgiving meals. I love everything about Thanksgiving, and because it's most food that we don't eat throughout the year. Stuffing, cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole. I'm sure you have salad, coleslaw, green bean casserole more often than that! Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and give thanks for what has been given to you. Thankful for food, for example, throughout the year. What is your favorite holiday food? Post it and recipe below!

One I am thankful for, is my step-mother's recipe for coleslaw. It is a tradition in her family and I am honored that we share it in ours now.

1 bag of shredded coleslaw

1 red apple (a soft red, like a McIntosh or Braeburn)

S&P

Mayonnaise

Cider Vinegar

Chop the apple. Salt it. Mix slaw and apple in a large mixing bowl. In a smaller bowl mix S&P, mayo and vinegar. I would start with a tablespoon or two of each and go from there. We typically use more of the vinegar than mayo because my family likes coleslaw more tart. You can mix ratios as you like; if you like more creamy slaw then add more mayo. Make sure you put enough S&P in for flavor, but don't over do it. Taste the dressing as you go, but keep in mind it will taste different once you mix the dressing with the slaw. Once you've mixed your dressing, add it to your slaw and mix well. Taste! Add/mix more dressing to your taste bud's desire.

You can serve immediately or refrigerate for a few hours to overnight.

*Note* the more you let it sit, the more the flavors will come out.
