Colorful Coleslaw

1/2 head green, savoy and purple cabbage

1/2 lg. sweet Vidalia onion

1-2c carrot matchsticks

your favorite poppy seed dressing

Using a mandolin, or a very sharp knife and a good cutting board, thinly slice the cabbage and onions.  Wash and dry the cut cabbage in a salad spinner.  Combine cabbage, onion, carrots in a large glass bowl.  Mix a little water with the dressing to make it more pourable.  About a 4/1 dressing to water ratio is good.  Add some fresh ground pepper.

Toss and let stand an hour to blend the flavors and let the dressing marinate everything.

This goes great with picnic food, burgers and fries, steak and a baked potato or even sushi. . .Lin
