Haitian Cole Slaw...and a Giveaway!

I've been on the cabbage kick all last week. I bought 2 heads of organic cabbage at Whole Foods, and also, I bought Daikon radish, the long white Japanese radish, Scotch Bonnet peppers, and really "kicked up" the spices in my Haitian Cole Slaw...you probably wonder what is a Haitian Cole Slaw?...and what makes it Haitian. I do have an answer for that. I became acquainted with it several years ago, working in the country club with Haitian cooks that make this fabulous slaw. Usually it's served with griot, which is a crispy fried pork dish, and a side of lettuce wedge with French dressing, and the cole slaw...and oh, my! spicy, tangy, and slightly sweet. Absolutely zero fat, healthy, refreshing, and delicious!

Haitian Cole Slaw
my own recipe

2 cups of water
1/2 cup cider vinegar ( I used organic)
1 t. sugar
1 t. salt
1 head of green cabbage
cored, and thinly sliced
2 carrots peeled, and shredded
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 Daikon radish, peeled, and sliced thin
(you can use regular radish, instead, of the Daikon)
1 to 2 Scotch Bonnet chilli, seeded, and sliced thin

Whisk water, vinegar, sugar and salt, in a large bowl. Stir in all the ingredients. Let the cabbage pickle overnight in the refrigerator. Transfer to a clean 1quart jar, or 2 small pint jars.
The slaw will keep several weeks in the fridge. Very healthy, and delicious as a side dish or just by itself to snack on.

....and now, for the Giveaway!
