Let’s Talk Ingredients!
Before we jump into the mixing frenzy, let’s gather our heroic ingredients:
- 1 small head green cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 small head red cabbage, finely shredded (yes, we like a pop of color!)
- 2 large carrots, grated (more crunch, please!)
- 1 cup mayonnaise (the creamy goodness)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar (just a hint of sweetness)
- Salt and pepper to taste (season them right!)
Mix It Up: Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s get mixing and make this magical creamy coleslaw:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and grated carrots. Just imagine a colorful party in that bowl!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. This is where the magic happens; feel free to taste and adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking.
- Pour that delicious dressing over your cabbage and carrot mixture. Get in there with your hands (clean ones, of course) or a spatula and mix it all up until everything is well coated. It’s like giving your salad a nice, creamy bath!
- Cover the bowl and let your coleslaw chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This allows all the flavors to blend together beautifully. Patience is a virtue, but you can sneak a taste if you can’t resist!
- Once chilled, give the coleslaw another gentle toss and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve it up at your next gathering and watch it disappear faster than you can say ‘coleslaw!’ Enjoy!
And there you have it! A creamy coleslaw that’s as easy to make as it is to devour. Be prepared for everyone to ask for your secret and remember, the only secret is a whole lot of fun while mixing. Now go ahead and crush it!
