Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
Dressing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (white or apple cider)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Thoroughly wash and shred the cabbage and carrots. Ensure they are finely shredded for the best texture in the coleslaw.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise and vinegar. Mix well until the dressing is smooth and evenly blended.
- Combine and Toss: Add the shredded vegetables into the bowl with the dressing. Toss everything together gently to coat the cabbage and carrots evenly with the dressing.
- Chill and Serve: For best results, refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly.
Notes
- For a tangier flavor, add a teaspoon of sugar or honey to the dressing.
- Chop some fresh herbs like parsley or dill to add an herbal note.
- Adjust vinegar amount according to your preferred level of acidity.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter, healthier alternative.
- Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
