German Coleslaw

This is the most delicious coleslaw recipe around.  I wish it were fat-free/sugar-free but it isn't.  Luckily, I have been able to adjust some of the ingredients to make it a bit healthier than its deli counterpart.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium head of green cabbage, finely shredded (8-10 cups)
• 1 medium head of purple cabbage, finely shredded (8-10 cups)
• 5 diced green onions
• 1 cup packed brown sugar (or for a sugar-free option, substitute with 1 3/4 teaspoons pure Stevia powder)
• 1 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
• 3 teaspoons celery seed
• 3 teaspoons sea salt
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (this is a necessary part of the recipe, don't skimp!)
• 1/3 cup dried blueberries (optional)
• 1/3 cup dried cranberries (optional)

In a large bowl, combine cabbage, onions, and dried fruit.  In a saucepan, mix sugar, vinegar, celery seed, salt and Stevia; bring to a rolling boil.  Add the oil; return to boiling until sugar dissolves.  Pour over cabbage mixture; toss gently.  Chill until served.

As a side note, this is best if its been chilled overnight.  That said, it's also good served warm.  Enjoy!
