Fabulously Different Coleslaw

We had this at my MIL's this weekend and Mark and I fought over the leftovers.  Then I came home and made it here the next day!  It is not your traditional coleslaw.  It is So. Good.

Slaw:
1 head of cabbage, shredded (I wouldn't hesitate to sub red cabbage or broccoli slaw or your favorite savory crunchy shredded veggies here)
1 red pepper, chopped
1 can water chestnuts, sliced into slivers
1/2-3/4 cup slivered almonds
1/2-3/4 cup chow mein noodles

Dressing:
1/3-1/2 cup salad oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup sugar (I used 1/4 cup agave)
1t salt
1t pepper
1/2 tube dill paste (I did not have dill paste, and so used 1/2-1t dry dill weed)


Mix and enjoy.  (and you will enjoy)

*note: be sure to add your chow mein noodles at the last minute so they don't get soggy.  This is not a make it and let it sit coleslaw.
