Pickled slaw is a fantastic alternative to mayonnaise-based coleslaw. It can also be made ahead, so it is a great option for potlucks and backyard barbecues.

1 medium head cabbage, shredded
4 mild white onions, thinly sliced
2 large carrots, shredded
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground mustard

1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup canola oil

Remove from the heat and stir in oil. Pour over cabbage mixture. Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate overnight; stir several times.
