2 carrots

1 green onion

1 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon sour cream

3 tablespoons sugar

¼ cup vinegar

¼ teaspoon poppy or celery seeds (optional)

Black pepper to taste

Slaw Smarts

Shredded radishes, broccoli stems, firm apples, jicama, and raw turnips can all be used in addition to, or instead of, cabbage to make interesting slaws. And for a low-carb version of the popular salad, replace sugar with your favorite sugar substitute.
