Cookbook:Coleslaw I

| Salads

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

Procedure

 * 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, tips and variations

 * 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)
