I don't like sugar in cole slaw, although apparently many people do. Also, I like the cabbage parboiled so it's still crunchy but doesn't have that raw taste. And a lot of garlic salt, black pepper, and lemon juice...the amount of those ingredients is to individual taste.
Aunt Dora's Cole Slaw
1 medium head of cabbage, finely shredded (or packaged coleslaw mix -- "angel hair" is best)
1/2 pint mayonnaise (or more if you like it "juicy")
garlic salt
black pepper
lemon juice
Shred the cabbage. Bring water to boil in a large pot. Add cabbage for just a minute or two. Drain, pat dry, and put in a colander. Wrap several cubes of ice in a dish towel and place over the cabbage. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until cabbage is thoroughly chilled. Remove the ice, transfer cabbage to a large bowl, and add mayonnaise, garlic salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. Refrigerate for at least 2 or 3 hours (or preferably overnight) before serving.
