- 3 or 4 cups of shredded cabbage
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1/4 cup minced onion (optional)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- dash pepper
The cabbage is best thinly sliced into
shreds with a sharp knife. Cut the cabbage
in half, remove the core, and slice it
across the bias, into thin strips. You can
shred it in a food processor if you prefer,
but it won't be as good. The carrot can be
shredded on a cheese shredder, and so can
the onion, or put them into the food
processor too. Mix the vegetables in a large
bowl with the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar,
lemon juice, salt and pepper. I use both the
vinegar and lemon juice because it gives the
slaw a pleasant flavor. You could substitute
2 tablespoons of either vinegar or lemon
juice, and still come up with a tasty
product. This makes about 8 servings.
