I'm NOT a coleslaw fan, but this one by Jeff Cox looks promising.
The secret seems to be soaking the cabbage in ice cold water for a couple of hours.
Remove outer leaves from cabbage, then core. Cut heads into quarters and soak in cold water in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Shake off excess water and shred very finely, then pat shreds dry with towels. Place the shreds in a bowl and mix in all other ingredients.
Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Makes 8 servings.
