Ingredients

  • ½ bell pepper coarsely chopped
  • 1 green onion chopped
  • ½ large carrot chopped (or 3-4 baby carrots)
  • ⅛ cup fresh parsley leaves
  • ½ head cabbage
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon seasoning salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Using a food processor, gently process the bell pepper, onion, carrot, and parsley, being careful not to over process. The mixture should be in small pieces but not mushy.
  2. Cut 1/2 of the cabbage into chunks and place in the food processor and process lightly, again making sure the mixture doesn't become mushy - it should be in small, fine pieces.
  3. Slice the remaining cabbage into thin strands.
  4. In a large bowl, toss together the cabbage and the processed vegetables.
  5. In a separate small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, seasoning salt, black pepper, sugar, lemon-pepper and vinegar together and allow to stand for 5 minutes.
  6. Combine the mayonnaise mixture with the vegetables, folding until the cabbage and vegetables are evenly coated. Chill for 1 hour. The coleslaw is best served within 1-3 hours as the leftovers tend to get watery and the flavors lessen after a long stay in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Peppers: I used a combination of green and red bell peppers (about 1/4 of each pepper). I loved the sweetness of the red pepper and liked the combination of both but you can use whatever you prefer or have on hand.
  • Chop Finely: if you don't have a food processor, chop the bell pepper(s), green onion, carrot, parsley and 1/2 of the cabbage very, very finely and combine with the rest of the thinly sliced cabbage.
