Basic Coleslaw Recipe

1. Start by finely shredding the cabbage and grating the carrots. The proportions generally lean towards more cabbage than carrot, with a suggested ratio of about 4:1. 2. If opting for a mayonnaise-based dressing, mix mayonnaise with a bit of vinegar (apple cider or white), sugar, salt, and a hint of black pepper in a bowl. Adjust the ingredients according to taste. 3. For a lighter vinaigrette, whisk together oil, vinegar, a small amount of mustard for emulsification, sugar (or honey), and season with salt and pepper. Again, adjust to taste. 4. Combine the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated. 5. Let the coleslaw sit for at least an hour in the fridge before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften slightly, enhancing the overall taste.
