1 large cabbage (shredded or finely chopped)
1 small green bell pepper, sliced
2 green onions, chopped (or use sweet onion)
2 large carrots, peeled and shredded (hand-squeeze excess moisture out)

3/4 cup white vinegar

1 tablespoon brown sugar (or to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons celery seeds
2 -3 tablespoons prepared mustard
1/2 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup white sugar (can add up to 3/4 cup)

Preparation

In a large bowl, mix the vegetables together.
Mix first 6 dressing ingredients together in a small saucepan; bring to a boil.
Remove from heat then immediately add in the oil and white sugar; mix to combine until the sugar is completely dissolved, then pour the hot mixture over the veggies.

Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours stirring occasionally, I just keep a spoon in the bowl and just mix every time I open the fridge.
