Want a fresh, crunchy side that you can make in no time? This homemade coleslaw recipe is just the thing. It’s simple, satisfying, and uses just a few easy-to-find ingredients. Let’s get mixing!
Ingredients Needed
- 1 small head of cabbage (green or mix) – finely shredded
- 1 carrot – shredded
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1–2 tablespoons vinegar (apple cider or white)
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional for a touch of sweetness)
- Pinch of salt and pepper (to taste)
Steps to Follow
- Prep the veggies: Shred the cabbage and carrot. A box grater or sharp knife works fine.
