Spicy Hot Cole Slaw

This is a fabulous alternative to regular cole slaw and goes great with burgers! To make it quick and simple, use a bag of cabbage cole slaw mix found in the produce section. Be sure to make it the night before- the longer it sits, the better it is!

4 cups cabbage (or 1 bag precut cabbage)
1/2 green pepper
1/2 red pepper
1 onion, minced
1/4 t salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup cold water
4-6 whole jalapenos, diced

Dice cabbage, green pepper, red pepper, and onion. Place in large bowl. In small bowl mix together salt, sugar, oil, vinegar, and water. Mix well. Pour over cabbage, peppers, and onions and mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Before serving, mix well. Enjoy!

Prep Time: Only 10 minutes if using bagged cabbage; 20 minutes if you cut up your own

TIP OF THE DAY: When cutting jalapenos- be very careful! Wear gloves (even baggies on your hands will do) and be super careful not to touch your face!
