Depression Salad

This is a coleslaw with an oil and vinegar dressing.  Very refreshing and tasty, and inexpensive, as it was developed during the Depression! 

1 head of cabbage, 2lbs

3 carrots

2 green bell peppers, (I use the red & yellow)

1 large red onion

4 cucumbers

1 white onion

1 bunch radish 

1/2 bunch celery

Dressing-

1 cup olive oil

1/2 cup warm water

1 1/2 cup white vinegar

10-12 Tablespoons sugar

1 Tablespoon salt

1 Tablespoon garlic powder

2 Tbsp Monterey Steak Seasoning


Thinly shred the cabbage, slice all other vegetables, mix all in a large bowl, make the dressing and toss with the vegetables. Pack into glass jars, if any dressing remains pour a little into each jar.
