My 84 yr old Dad wanted slaw for the Memorial Day cookout so I wanted to make it special. This recipe seemed like what we had when I was a kid. I used 1/4 cup Miracle Whip and 1/4 cup mayonnaise, "somewhat less than" 1/2 cup sugar, perhaps 1 Tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 cupped handful of celery seeds, and one package of Dole preshredded cabbage and carrot mix. Both my Dad and my husband declared it excellent so I guess I'll be making it again.

Great recipe! I added sliced mini carrots, 1 clove minced garlic. I also used a little over a cup of Bob's Vegetable Soup mix, a dried soup containing the alpha pasta, barley, and assorted dried beans. Cook time for Vege II and Bob's were approx the same. I still added frozen green beans and a can of corn, but had to add extra V-8 to thin to soup texture. Bob's thickened more than expected. Altogether an excellent soup. Next time I'll double recipe and put some in freezer in pint freezer bags for a quick soup for one or more people.
