Cole Slaw Sandwich on Pumpernickel


My low-level, but persistent obsession softly strikes again. Here's how I made this basic slaw:

1/2 head purple (red?) cabbage, sliced thinly
2 carrots, peeled and sliced thinly
1/2 gala apple, cut into matchsticks
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons mayonaise

Toss all ingredients to combine!

I grilled the pumpernickel slices, melted some Swiss cheese on one slice, then stuffed the sandwich with the day-old slaw. Oh, and ever wonder where the word pumpernickel came from? A warning: curiosity might kill your craving.

I'm a Rueben fan too...thought you might like to try my grandmother's slaw recipe:

4C. finely chopped cabbage
(I shred it)
2 T. sugar
1t. salt
pepper
1/2 t. celery seed
2 T.+ vinegar

combine and chill for an hour or more.
Just before serving add
1/2 c. commercial salad dressing
(I use Light Hellman's but grew up on Miracle Whip)
It's good without the mayo too.
