Ingredients
4 cups shredded cabbage (green or mixed)
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar (optional but traditional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: a little yogurt to make it lighter
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the shredded cabbage and carrots.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together:
mayonnaise
lemon juice or vinegar
sugar
salt
pepper
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
- Mix well until everything is coated evenly.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving — this makes it softer and more flavorful.
Tips
Add raisins or apples for a sweet version.
Add a bit of mustard for a tangy twist.
