Vinegar Boiled Slaw

Shared with recipegoldmine.com by Jeannie

I have loved this recipe of my Moms for 25 plus years.

2 teaspoons butter
2 eggs
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper ( hah - I love it so I add more)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk
1 diced green pepper

Beat eggs lightly with sugar.  Add mustard, salt and pepper. Mix lightly. Add vinegar and butter. Cook in a small saucepan over low heat stirring constantly. When it becomes a soft custard, remove from heat. Cool.

Add milk and chopped green pepper. Chill until ready to use. Thinly slice green cabbage. Pour dressing over and chill until ready to serve.

Grilled Potato Salad

Posted by kdipaolo at recipegoldmine.com May 24, 2001

2 pounds new potatoes, cut in half
2 red or green peppers cut in 2-inch chunks
Parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil, divided (I used less by drizzling
    on oil to coat as I tossed potatoes and
    omitting it from the dressing)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Season to taste (fresh pepper, salt)

In medium bowl, toss potatoes and pepper with 2 tablespoons oil and the parsley. Thread vegetables onto wooden skewers and place on grill 4 - 6 inches from coals. Cook turning occasionally, until potatoes are lightly brown and tender (about 15 minutes).

Remove vegetables from skewers and set aside.

In bowl, blend mustard, vinegar, remaining oil and seasoning with whisk. Add in vegetables and toss to coat.
