LAUREN'S FESTIVE COLESLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the first six ingredients. In a separate bowl toss the shredded cabbage, carrot and green pepper. Stir in the dressing until well coated. Refrigerate until ready to serve. If you want to eliminate mayonnaise, simply combine 1 part vegetable oil to two parts vinegar and two parts sugar. This will make a sweet and sour, non-creamy coleslaw.
