1 small head of red cabbage
1/2 to 1 cup of Miracle Whip(*)
1 carrot
diced green onion or white onion
paprika
pepper
salt
Serves 2-8 depending on size of cabbage head and appetites; prepare in 15 minutes.
Split cabbage head vertically, remove woody stem from the core, then dice the halves to desired chunk size (I like the pieces to be 1/4"-3/8"), and place in large mixing bowl
Dice the onion and add to large mixing bowl. The amount required depends on how much onion you like. 1/4 cup of white onion is probably plenty, but, for me, it takes a complete bunch of green onions w/stems (green onions are sold by the bunch here).
Shred the washed & peeled carrot into the large mixing bowl.
Add dollops of Miracle whip by folding them into the vegetables and stirring around. Everything should be lightly coated, but not soupy (unless you really like soupy coleslaw).
Add salt and pepper and paprika to taste, stirring into the mixture. Starting points might be 1/8 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon of paprika.
(*) Miracle Whip is probably the most ubiquitous refrigerator ornament we have in the USA. It's tough to imagine a family that doesn't have a jar in their fridge unless they don't eat sandwiches or prefer mayonnaise. Feel free to make appropriate substitutions and if someone has a homemade salad binder recipe, I'd sure like to hear about it!

), or I also like mixing half Marie's cole slaw dressing / yogurt. I think I did see a recipe for cole slaw
