This is an easy recipe that took a few tries to perfect.  It takes about 10 minutes to throw it together and about 2 to 3 hours of resting with occasional stirs before it hits peak.

2 bags (20 oz. total) angel hair coleslaw – rinsed, drained

3 TBSP dried onion 

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup Nakkano Seasoned Rice Vinegar (this vinegar is sweet)

1/2 teaspoon mustard powder

1.5 teaspoon dried dill weed

1.5 teaspoon celery seed

1 teaspoon salt

OPTIONAL (for color)
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 1⁄2 cup red cabbage, shredded
  1. In a large size mixing bowl – add all ingredients. It will seem like a lot, but it will settle.
  2. Mix well and set aside.
  3. Cover coleslaw with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
  4. Stir well a few times before serving.
Makes about 8-12 servings.

Still perfecting it...tweaks are below. Tweaks are due to large family gatherings and listening to all of the "experts."

Sounds close to my wife's kraut salad, she is German. Met here while stationed in then West Germany back in the 80's. She doesn't use rice wine vinegar, just normal or apple vinegar, or mustard seed. And use fresh onion. She takes the shredded cabbage and rinses it in hot water to both clean and soften it. Other then that. It is the same as what is posted. Yours sound good as well and will need to give it a go.
