CABBAGE SLAW 
1 small head cabbage
1 large onion
1 green pepper
1 red pepper (optional)
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 carrot, shredded
salt and pepper to taste

Dressing:

3/4 c. salad oil
3/4 c. white vinegar
1 1/2 c. white sugar

Dressing: Mix and heat to boiling point in medium saucepan, but do not boil. Thinly slice cabbage, onion and peppers, each one into separate bowl. Place 1/3 of each vegetable in each layer in large mixing bowl. Sprinkle each layer lightly with celery seed and salt to taste (use less, as you can add more later if necessary). Put a few spoonfuls of warm dressing on each layer. When all vegetables are used, pour remaining dressing over all. Cover with a plate and place in refrigerator overnight or longer. Mix lightly before serving. This recipe comes from Imagene (Offenheiser) Taylor. She is Harry Offenheiser's sister. Imagene is in her late nineties and lives with her son, Don and his wife, Mary. They live in Hillsbaro, Oregon.
