Jen's Sweet & Sour Coleslaw - 0 points!!

Jen's Sweet and Sour Coleslaw 

** This pairs great in the bottom of a bowl of my favorite chili!

Hot and Sour Coleslaw (I tend to add a bit more red pepper flakes than this)

1 head of cabbage (about 2 lbs) quartered, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 lb carrots (3 medium) shredded
1/3 cup finely chopped scallions
1 3/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup splenda
2 Tb finely chopped fresh ginger (I actually use the ginger in a glass jar from the produce section)
1/2 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes

Toss cabbage, carrots, scallions and salt in a large bowl and let stand until cabbage is slightly wilted (about 5 minutes)

Put vinegar, splenda, ginger and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook for 3-4 minutes.

Put sauce on cabbage mixture and toss to coat. I like to let it sit (stirring occassionally) for at least an hour. It just gets better with time.


According to Nina if this makes 8 servings, then it's 0 points per serving!
