In 1973 I lived on the lake in North Summerton, SC (Santee). We were always having cookouts -fish fries, etc. One of the neighbors gave me this recipe back then for Marinated Coleslaw. Some of my friends, as well as my son, do not like mayonnaise based coleslaw; but they really like this coleslaw. I usually make it using green cabbage; however, in this picture you can see when I made it last I used a mixture of red cabbage and white cabbage. I do that for special occasions or when I want more color than the green cabbage gives (which sometimes looks more white than green) Enjoy.
