Sugar Free Freezer Slaw

This is a great recipe for those family reunions, BBQ's and picnics this summer. It is easy, can be made weeks ahead of time, and won't get "fizzy" when it sits out. You can also make this and freeze in smaller containers for when you just need a side to go with your hambugers and hot dogs. Not only is it good, but it is healthy and you won't be beating yourself up for eating it. I hope you try it this summer! Enjoy, and take care!

Sugar Free Freezer Slaw

1 large head of cabbage, or 2 small
2 tsp. salt
1 cup carrots shredded or chopped
1 cup vinegar
¼ cup water
2 cups splenda
2 tsp. celery seed
1 tsp. ground mustard


Finely chop cabbage and put in a colander in the sink, then sprinkle with salt and let sit for 1 hour. Meanwhile warm vinegar and water on stove with celery seed and ground mustard (ground mustard adds a little bite, so if you don’t like it spicy just omit). When vinegar mixture is warm add splenda and stir until it is dissolved, let cool. After 1 hour rinse cabbage well and shake dry and put in a big bowl. Add carrots and coat with vinegar mixture. Put in a large freezer safe container and freeze. Take out of freezer 2 hours before serving.

*Note* Sugar may be used instead of splenda if you don't mind the calories!
