Instructions:
- Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage.

- Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and grated carrots.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together using tongs or a large spoon, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid.
- Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, let it chill for 2-3 hours.
- Give the coleslaw a final toss before serving.
- Transfer to a serving dish or serve directly from the bowl.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and evenly shred the cabbage and carrots.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt and pepper to the dressing.
- Let the coleslaw sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- If you prefer a tangier coleslaw, add an extra tablespoon of vinegar.
- For a healthier version, use a light mayonnaise or yogurt-based dressing.
