"Outlaw Slaw"
While growing up my family got together all the time Many BBq's and my Elder sister came up with a recipe similar to this but being a Chef I went on to perfect it The reason I love it is non dairy which means if you left it covered over night just throw it in the fridge and cool it and if your getting low just shred up more onion , carrots and cabbage and throw it in the brine over night stirring it once in awhile
Ingredients
2-Med carrots
1/2 Sm onion
!-Cup white vinegar
1-Cup white sugar
3/4Cup oil
1 Tbls ground mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Finely chop veggies and place in a Lg mixing bowl set aside
In a sm sauce pan mix the rest of ingredients in pan Bring to a boil stirring often on Med high until it starts to foam up When it get to the point of boiling over remove and pour over veggie mix quickly and mix up I leave mine there and stir it if I walk by it
In the 30+ years I've been serving it I can't recall very many who didn't like it and I had 2 restaurants and 1 bar in Detroit Lakes MN Tee Pee's Sportsman's bar The birthplace of the "WE FEST" in 1983
I was locking up one night and just when I turned to go downstairs for a well deserved rest a car pulled in A crew got out and came up to the door and asked I was closed Of course I said no and let them in I locked the door up again and asked what kinda beer they drank and it was the Bull so I grabbed a case of tall boys and sat down at a table and made the We Fest possible
Next day i tried scrambled to get a semi truck of folding lawn chairs delivered before the fest but couldn't come hell or high water After the dust settled Jeff and I figured of I lost out on around 7-10K
Directions
In a sm sauce pan mix the rest of ingredients in pan Bring to a boil stirring often on Med high until it starts to foam up When it get to the point of boiling over remove and pour over veggie mix quickly and mix up I leave mine there and stir it if I walk by it Put in fridge and enjoy

Tzatziki Sauce (Greek Cucumber Salad)
A cool and creamy cucumber and garlic yogurt sauce that is perfect in pitas, on salads, for dipping or even eating by the spoonful.
Tzatziki is a Greek meze or appetizer that is made from strained yogurt, cucumber and garlic. Optional ingredients include herbs such as dill, mint and/or parsley and lemon juice is also common. If you are feeling daring you can even hit it up with a splash of ouzo. In addition to being served as an appetizer it makes a great dip or condiment especially when served in gyros or with souvlaki.
Updates 20150829: Since I was making tzatziki the other day I decided to take some new photos for the recipe!
Ingredients
1/2 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, grated, and squeezed to drain
