Marinated Broccoli Slaw - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 bag shredded broccoli, slaw
3/4 cup white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1/2 cup white sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil

Preparation

Empty the bag of shredded veggies into a very large mixing bowl (or Tupperware container, if you're brave enough to simply cap and shake to distribute the marinade).
In a small sauce pan, combine the vinegar, salt, garlic powder, pepper (if desired), brown sugar, soy sauce, and mustard. Cover and bring to a boil.
Remove from the heat and add the sugar and oil, stirring or whisking to dissolve. (I probably use a bit less than 2/3 cup of vegetable oil--maybe 2/3 cup minus 3 TB? If it tastes a bit strong or you need to stretch the marinade a bit further, use the full amount.).
Allow the marinade to cool, then pour over the veggies and mix thoroughly.
Refrigerate and enjoy!
