Bill's Zesty "Slaw"

" I'm looking through some old recipe files I've been saving for years when I came across this yellowed crumpled up piece of notebook paper that had Bill's recipe

for homemade cole slaw. I can vividly remember hot summer days at the Jersey shore when I bugged him to make my favorite cole slaw.

He liked to serve it with barbecued chicken (usually a little too crispy), fresh Jersey corn , sliced Jersey beef steak tomatoes "

    Bill, liked to add a minimal amount of the vinaigrette. My take on it is you don't want it too dry, but at the same time, too much and all you taste is the vinaigrette.
