• 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped

Dressing

• 1 t. dry mustard

Directions

1. With a sharp knife, slice each cabbage quarter very fine, combine with green pepper and onion in a large bowl and toss to mix.
2. Mix sugar, salt, mustard and celery seeds in a small saucepan, add vinegar and oil and let come to a boil over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour over cabbage and toss well to mix. Cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
