My car is so packed (big fundraising festival) and my cookbooks are in the middle... Since I'll be doing so much slicing I thought I'd bring coolers and make Calico cole slaw for my family. lol. But I don't have the recipe and I'm thinking the vinegar would likely help preserve my veggies, just don't know how much. I know there's honey too & cilantro. It is REALLY good in case you have never had it.

Thanks in advance!
Susan :)
