Well, I usually go with the 2nd Ave Deli recipe for "health salad", and that
was my original plan but I found something at the market today that screamed
out to me and I just had to try it.

It's Pfeiffer Poppy Seed salad dressing! They had 16 oz bottles on sale for
99 cents. And the moment I saw it, I thought "that seems MADE for cole
slaw!" I got one of those 1lb bags of Dole Cole Slaw mixture (it's just
finely shredded cabbage and some carrot shreds).

When I got home, I put about half the bottle (one cup) of dressing into a
big bowl. Added about a 1/4 cup of cider vinegar and about half that much of
corn oil. This thinned out the dressing a little.
I also added a couple teaspoonfuls of Splenda (use sugar if you prefer)

Mixed it together and tasted. It seemed a bit dry, so I added about half a
cup more dressing with a few more drops of cider vinegar, and mixed well.

Tasted it, it needed pepper, which I added. The result is a slightly
creamy, tart, sweet cole slaw that is really the best I ever tasted!

So...cup and a half of poppy seed dressing, thinned with about 1/3 cup cider
vinegar and a few tablespoons of oil. Sweetener optional. In a large bowl.
Toss with 1lb of of that cole slaw mixture from the market.
Let sit overnight.
YUM!
