Julia Child`s Coleslaw

Dressing: In small bowl, combine mustard, vinegar, salt and sugar. Set aside.

Slaw: In large mixing bowl, toss cabbage, celery, carrot, green onions, bell pepper, apple, cucumber and parsley. Add mustard mixture to vegetables, tossing well to combine. Add caraway or cumin seeds, bay leaf, celery seeds and pepper to taste. Toss several times, adding a little more salt or vinegar to taste. Set aside for 20 to 30 minutes, then toss again and drain. (May be prepared up to this point, covered and refrigerated.)

Combine sour cream and mayonnaise in bowl. Remove cabbage mixture from refrigerator, drain again and taste to correct seasonings.

Toss with sour cream-mayonnaise mixture and serve.
