Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a food processor. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.

- Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and mix again to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Cover the coleslaw with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to chill properly.
