MARINATED RED CABBAGE

This salad makes a wonderful picnic salad,  is particularly nice when you want to add a little colour to your menu, and is a money saver as a replacement for lettuce based salads in mid winter when the price of imported lettuce is high.

4 cups finely shredded cabbage
1 large red onion, peeled and sliced thinly
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp dry mustard
2 Tbsp white sugar
1 1/2 tsp celery seed

Add to mixture in saucepan:
1/4 cup oil
Return to boil, remove from heat and immediately pour over cabbage mixture in the bowl.
Mix thoroughly.

Drain well before serving.
