Calico Coleslaw

As I've mentioned a few times before, I've started work on my next cookbook project — a collection of veganized retro recipes from the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. I've only just begun, but I've managed to create a few vegan adaptations of recipes found in old cookbooks or on websites devoted to vintage food.

Awhile back, I made this simple, veggie-heavy Calico Coleslaw, adapted from the 1965 Better Homes & Gardens Vegetable Cookbook:


Since I don't have a publisher or contract for this one yet, I can share a few recipes if I want. So I'll pass this one along to you guys.

Calico Coleslaw
----------------------
4 cups shredded green cabbage
1/2 cup vegan mayo
1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
1/4 cup green pepper, minced
1/4 of a white onion, finely minced
4-ounce jar diced pimentos, drained
1 tsp. salt

Mix everything together in a large mixing bowl. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

    Have you considered self publishing - you can do it on the kindle pretty easily (I'm being FYI I want this cookbook and there are not many cookbooks I will deem worthy of owning...)

    That is very Pennsylvania Dutch (who are actually not Dutch, but German) looking!

    I've never heard of corn in coleslaw, but it sure is pretty!

    I love retro recipes! My favorites come from old church cookbooks.

    This is a fab idea, too. I wonder why this didn't stay popular?
