Mandarin Cole Slaw

one 16-ounce bag shredded cabbage with carrots
1 cup reduced-calorie mayonnaise (or fat free)
2 tablespoons sugar or agave syrup or Spenda
1/4 teaspoon salt (omit?)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 T white, rice wine, or red wine vinegar
one 11-ounce can mandarin oranges in light syrup

1. Mix in a small bowl: mayonnaise, sugar, salt, pepper and vinegar.
2. Dump cabbage into a large bowl. Add above mixture and gently stir in.
3. Drain mandarin oranges and lightly fold in.
4. Refrigerate 20-30 minutes at least, to let flavors mingle.

You can also add bits of dried pineapple and chow mein noodles or you can add crushed dry ramen noodles. We have also added cooked chicken breast to make a complete meal.
