Classic coleslaw with white cabbage, carrots, and red onion in a tangy dressing.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • white cabbage, finely shredded or sliced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and finely grated
  • red onion, thinly sliced

Dressing

  • mayonnaise (adjust amount for desired creaminess)
  • Dijon mustard, to taste
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by shredding or finely slicing the white cabbage. Peel and finely grate the carrot.
  2. Thinly slice the red onion. Combine everything in a large bowl.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients and blend well. For a richer coleslaw, just use mayonnaise!
  4. Stir the dressing and vegetables together and mix well.
  5. Taste and adjust the amount of mustard, salt and pepper until it tastes good to you.
  6. Let stand in a cool place for about an hour before serving.
  7. Stir again just before serving.

Notes

Richer version: For a creamier, richer coleslaw, use only mayonnaise without other dressing ingredients.

Make-ahead: Best when allowed to rest for 1 hour before serving to let flavors develop.
