Ingredients:
- small white cabbage
- 2 large carrots
- ½ red onion
- 4 tablespoons good mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper to season
Shred the cabbage with a sharp knife into thin strips that are a comfortable size to eat. Grate the carrot on the coarsest side of the grater. Slice the onion as finely as you can.
Toss the vegetables with the mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice, taste for seasoning and add however much salt and pepper you like.
Chill in the fridge for and hour or two before serving.
My mother dearest always used to put sultanas in her coleslaw but I find that a little too 70s. Coleslaw just means Cabbage Salad in Dutch so really you can add any additional ingredients that take your fancy. I always add 1 Granny Smith apple. Many recipes add celery and Jamie Oliver has a posh looking “Best Winter Veg Coleslaw” with a whole host of additions.
