Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise or 2 dL olive oil
  • ¼–½ cup (about 50–100ml) cider vinegar (optional)
  • 1 head white cabbage
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. If adding cider vinegar, add it to the mayonnaise and mix together well.
  2. Slice or shred the cabbage, as coarsely or finely as desired.
  3. In a large bowl, mix cabbage and onion together with mayonnaise.
  4. Set aside to allow the flavours to merge at least 20 minutes but preferably for a couple of hours.

Notes

Savoy cabbage can be used instead of white cabbage

Other vegetables can be added to the coleslaw for greater variety, including: Sliced bell peppers (red, yellow, and orange) Grated carrots Chopped nuts (e.g. almonds, walnuts)

Some people prefer to sweeten the dressing by adding up to 2 tablespoons of sugar to the mayonnaise and vinegar

Spices can be added to the dressing to "liven it up" (e.g. ground black pepper, celery seeds)
