Classic Creamy Coleslaw

Ingredients

• 3 cups cabbage
• 1/4 cup carrot ((1/2 - 1 medium))
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp lemon or vinegar
• 1 1/2 -2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash the cabbage and carrots thoroughly and peel the back of the carrot using a peeler or a knife. Remove the first few outer leaves of the cabbage if they are wilted or dirty.

2. 2

   Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline, or food processor. Slicing it extra thin gives the best texture

3. 3

   Julienne or grate your carrots. I like to julienne straight down to get those nice long strips instead of short bits. It makes the coleslaw look better and gives it more crunch! If you're using purple cabbage or other add-ins, prep them now.

4. 4

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice (or vinegar), and sugar. Taste and adjust to your preference; if you like it tangier, add a little more vinegar. If you prefer a hint of sweetness, add a little more sugar or swap for honey.

5. 5

   Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and any extra ingredients into the bowl. Gently mix until everything is evenly coated in the creamy dressing.

6. 6

   Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Trust me, it’s worth the wait... chilled coleslaw is absolutely delicious.

7. 7

   Serve and enjoy.
