Way back when I was growing up on the farm, cabbage was a winter salad staple.

My grandmother always prepared the most attractive and delicious coleslaw with grated cabbage, apple and carrot. After mixing it with her homemade cooked salad dressing she would ring the bowl with very finely grated carrots. All the grating was done on an old tin hand grater.

So it is with nostalgia that I make coleslaw from scratch today.

The food processor makes all the grating and chopping easier

I must say that the food processor makes the job a breeze and the fresh taste is a big reward.

I have made variations on this recipe from “The Best of Susan” in Good Housekeeping Cookbook since I was a young bride.
