Ingredients:

2 lb cabbage
900g
4 carrots
290g
1 cup mayonnaise salad dressing
240g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g
2 tbsp sugar
24g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cabbage:
- Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage.
- Rinse the cabbage thoroughly under cold running water.
- Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and then finely shred the quarters using a sharp knife, food processor, or mandoline slicer. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
2. Prepare the Carrots:
- Peel the carrots and rinse them under cold water.
- Grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the shredded cabbage.
3. Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise salad dressing, vinegar, and sugar.
- Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- 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.
5. Chill the Coleslaw:
- 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.
6. Serve:
- 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.
