How to Make 4 Ingredient Tangy Coleslaw

  1. Thinly slice one medium red onion. Soak the onion in 1/2 cup white vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt for at least 2 hours, or until softened. (For faster results, you can microwave the onions in a shallow dish with vinegar and salt for 3-5 minutes, checking often).
  2. Drain the softened onions.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the drained onions with 1 cup mayonnaise.
  4. Add 5 cups of pre-shredded coleslaw mix (or make your own with cabbage and carrots!).
  5. Gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
