Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup of Mayonnaise
2 tbsp of White Vinegar (to add a tangy flavor)
1 tbsp of Dijon Mustard (for a subtle spice)
2 tbsp of Sugar (to balance the acidity)
1/2 tsp of Salt
1/4 tsp of Black Pepper (freshly ground)
1 medium Carrot, grated
1/2 head of Green Cabbage, thinly sliced
1/4 head of Red Cabbage, thinly sliced (for color and a slight peppery taste)
1/2 Red Onion, thinly sliced (for a sharp, yet sweet flavor)
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables
- Thinly Slice the Cabbages: Use a sharp chef’s knife to slice both the green and red cabbage into thin shreds. This will ensure a delicate texture that melds well with the dressing.
- Grate the Carrot: Grate the carrot using a standard grater to achieve thin, short strands that complement the size of the cabbage shreds.
- Slice the Onion: Thinly slice the red onion to add a sharp contrast in flavor and a pop of color to the coleslaw.
Make the Dressing
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, white vinegar, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
- Add Sugar and Seasonings: Stir in the sugar, salt, and black pepper, adjusting to taste. The dressing should have a balance of creamy, tangy, and sweet flavors.
Mix Coleslaw
- Toss Vegetables with Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cabbages, grated carrot, and sliced onion. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.
