Cole Slaw!

Cooked out on the grill this weekend. MMMM! Pork burgers, bratwurst, corn on the cob, etc.

I do most of the cooking in my home, and I am always looking for good summertime recipes. You know, something cool and crunchy or something sloppy and bar-b-que-y. Just about anything that will go great with cold beer and grilled meat. Anybody got any quick and easy recipes for summer cookout goodness?

Here's one from my collection:

Ingredients: 1 head green cabbage 1 bunch green seedless grapes 1 small cucumber (seedless) Miracle whip sugar

Preparation:

Peel off the outer few layers of the cabbage and discard, then wash in cool water. Wash grapes. Peel cucumber. Slice the grapes in half, dice the cucumber. Cut off a large section of cabbage and finely slice (paper thin) into strips that aren't too long to eat comfortably with a fork. Not like spaghetti, only 1-2 inches long. The thinner the better.

Now, put all ingredients in a large bowl. Put about 1/3 cup of Miracle whip in a small bowl and add about 1 Tablespoon of sugar. Stir to combine. Mix into ingredients in large bowl. Let sit in fridge while everything else is cooking. When everything else is done, give slaw a quick stir and serve up the cold, crunchy goodness.

I know the ingredient list is woefully short of accurate measurements, but really, this is a hard dish to screw up! It's simple, make more if you want more, make less if you want less. Like grapes, add more. Hate cucumber, add less. Want it sweeter, add more sugar. Etc., Etc., Etc. ENJOY!
