Dear Heloise: I misplaced your favorite recipe for cole slaw. Could you reprint it, please. Arthur Firman, Manchester, N.H.

You bet your boots! This is an old family recipe that is great to serve at picnics or reunions.

2 ounces vegetable oil

1 ounce vinegar or lime juice or lemon juice (not all three)

1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard

1/4 teaspoon celery salt

1 ounce mayonnaise

Salt and pepper to taste

Dash of paprika

1 head cabbage, shredded

In one bowl, mix together the vegetable oil and vinegar, lemon juice or lime juice. Add the remaining ingredients in the order listed and stir until blended. Pour the mixture over the shredded cabbage, toss and refrigerate until ready to use. If made ahead of time, the flavors will have time to blend and it will taste wonderful. Enjoy! - Heloise
