Confetti Slaw with Cheese
This slaw recipe serves a lot of people, but can easily be halved.
And that's what I usually do. It is simple to make but big on flavor!
The colorful sweet peppers make it so much more appetizing and
the one thing that makes it even more special-cheese! I like to use
grated sharp cheddar but you can use any firm cheese that you
like-maybe pepper jack or even Parmesan!

Recipes are like stories; they can change from person to person. Everyone has their idea of how a recipe should be, even
though it may have changed from the original. We will never know the true author of the original recipe, regardless of
what some may say. That's why I go back and look through the oldest cookbooks that I can find. Sometimes it's not the
recipe in the books that I find, but the tiny pieces of handwritten recipes and newspaper articles that are stuck within
the pages. That's where the real story is, finding those simple Southern recipes. -Mac
