How to Make Shell's Spicy Cole Slaw

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, red onion, and green bell pepper.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, Tabasco sauce (to taste), and cayenne pepper (to taste).
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently fold until everything is evenly coated. This may take a few minutes to ensure all vegetables are well dressed.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour, to allow the flavors to meld. This chilling step is crucial for the best flavor and texture!
