Old Time Cottage Cole Slaw

[donna]

Try this version of Cole Slaw for your Memorial Weekend picnic. It is from cookbook "Old Timey Recipes".

1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons onion juice
6 cups shredded cabbage
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1/2 medium green pepper, chopped
2 cups diced apples

Combine cottage cheese, mayonnaise. Add vinegar, onion juice, seasonings, and caraway seeds. Combine dressing with cabbage, apples and green peppers. Place in large bowl lined with cabbage leaves. Garnish with cottage cheese and green peppers. You may decorate to suit the occasion. Chill. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

With the cottage cheese and mayo you have to keep it on ice or it will go sour.

How would I get onion juice? I have heard of a recipe using onion juice against cough, and there the onion is cooked with sugar, but I can't imagine this being the case here....

Cole Slaw is another of my favorites! Like the idea of the Cottage Cheese. Imagine it adds a bit of a creamy texture. Next time we make Cole Slaw, will try this recipe. Sometimes shred a spicy (but not too hot) pepper like a jalapeno and add to the mix. It adds a touch of flavor without becoming too spicy for they who are sensitive to heat.

Edit: No carrots? HMMMMMMMM!

I would think the onion juice is for flavor.i'm sure you could find it on amazon.

Have seen Onion Juice at the grocery near the spice section. Next to Garlic Juice, Anchovy Paste & stuff like that.

Both my grocery and Walmart sell Reese's Onion Juice. It is in Spice aisle.

Reese has a website. It is World Finer Foods:

Faraway friend asked about it and she lives in Germany so I don't think she can run to Wally World like we all do.

Since it from Reese's food and they have website, they probably can tell her how to order some.

They had Garlic Juice listed too.

Thank you all!
While we do have Walmart here (yes, yes, yes!!), we don't have onion juice. I think I would just chop an onion in very tiny cubes and add it. Cole Slaw is the favourite salad of my significant one, so I will try this also.

FarawayFriend,, you answered my question as I was wondering if you had Walmart in Germany. They must be everywhere.

FarawayFriend,, you answered my question as I was wondering if you had Walmart in Germany. They must be everywhere.

They are indeed. Although they are not Germany's favourite supermarket. We have the real big ones, named "real" and then some chains of discounters, named "Aldi", "Lidl", "Penny" and some more. I have heard that Aldi has some stores in the US also. I love Aldi because they have hiqh quality food, but very inexpensive, as it comes under different name brands although it is the original stuff. Kelloggs cornflakes are named Wellfit, for example. Nothing rated by the customers less than "2" on a scale of 1 to 6 will stay in store! Should an Aldi open in your vicinity, do try it!!

Sorry donna, this was off topic, but it is always so interesting to compare these things if there is an opportunity for it.

We have an Aldi that is opening May 25th in Middleburg, florida about 20 miles from us.my daughter says they are all over the Atlanta area.

All you have to do to get onion juice is grease up your elbows! You can grate the onion then put it in some cheesecloth and squeeze out the juice, or use a blender or juicer. I'd think twice about the juicer - orange/onion juice is not that good...

 

[FarawayFriend]

Well, as I'm not Arnold the Onionator, I think I will do with chopped onions. But thank you, really!

 

[donna]

We do have Aldi in our area. Will have to check it out.
