Huber Family Farm Always There Cole Slaw

This is my favorite vinegar-based cole slaw is great at a summer picnic or BBQ, though it’s also good on tacos, both fish and pork. Bonus, it can be stored in the fridge for at least a week.  Any green cabbage will work in this recipe, although when available, I like to use Napa Cabbage. This recipe is easily halved and quartered.
