With gardens coming on I thought you guys may want to try this recipe. It is not canned, just stored in the jars in the refrigerator. It is called Depression Era Salad. The jewish people made this during the great depression and this is one of the original recipes. I substitute cucumber slices for the green peppers as I don't like green bell pepper.
Ingredients
1 head shredded cabbage- about 2lbs.
3 carrots sliced
2 cucumbers
2 green peppers ( I use sliced cucumbers in place of peppers)
1 large red onion thinly sliced
1 buch radishes thinly sliced
1/2 bunch celery
Dressing
1 cup vegetable oil( or your preferance)
1/2 cup warm water
1 1/2 cup white vinegar
10 to 12 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
Slice all vegetables and place in a large bowl
Mix sugar,salt, and garlic powder in bowl with warm water and stir until dissolved, add the vinegar and oil.
Pour dressing over vegetables and mix well, pack into glass jars then divide and pour any remaining dressing evenly into the jars.
The dressing is great, it is not to sweet because of the amount of vinigar. I do not substitute things for the dressing. Ejoy because this stuff sure is delicious,
