Tuesday--Hot Dogs, Non-Mayo coleslaw

Hot Dogs
Call me if you need help making these!  We just grill them, then top them with chopped tomato, mustard, cheese, and sweet pickled jalapenos.  Do whatever makes you happy!

Non-Mayo Coleslaw
I LOVE this salad!  It keeps forever and gets better after a few days in the fridge.  My sister, Molly, hates mayo, so we make this one for her when the event calls for coleslaw!

1 bag shredded cabbage (or 1 head of cabbage shredded)
1/2 onion, sliced thin
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup sliced celery
1 green (or red or yellow or orange) bell pepper, sliced thin
1 cup olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup white vinegar (or spiced rice vinegar)
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp celery seed

Heat the oil, salt, sugar, vinegar, mustard, and celery seed over low heat until the sugar dissolves.  Pour over veggies while hot.  Cover and refrigerate.

I've also added jicama, fresh basil, cilantro, sliced almonds, toasted sesame seeds, and jalapeno.
