How to Make Cole Slaw

  1. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, and 1 cup shredded carrots.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Pour the creamy dressing over the cabbage mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop. Serve chilled and enjoy!
  5. For a quicker version, use a pre-bagged coleslaw mix (approximately 6 cups) and reduce the dressing ingredients by half.
