Classic Oil and Vinegar Coleslaw

I came across one of my mother’s old cookbooks, one from a fundraiser for my sister’s elementary school. This book goes back to the early 1980’s which means it has classic recipes from the 1970’s and even 1960’s👍🏻

I even found a recipe for a “salad” where the first ingredient is jello 😂😂😂

Then I came across the recipe that inspired this one but man oh man did it have a lot of sugar and oil 😳

Honestly I am so hooked on older cookbooks these days, it’s a fantastic way to look at the history I was part of but don’t remember.

Stay tuned for more classic/retro recipes that’ll bring your childhood memories back but as always, the naughty bits will be nicer 😎😎😎
