grandma's secret
grandma's secret
Unless she was in a real hurry, Grandma seldom used preshredded bags of coleslaw mix. She preferred the taste and crunch of fresh cabbage in her slaw recipes. To easily shred the cabbage by hand, Grandma would cut the head in half and remove the core from each side. After rinsing and drying, she placed a cabbage half cut side down on the cutting board and sliced across it to form thin strips. As she placed the cabbage in the mixing bowl, she separated the strips into shredded pieces.
