- Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots. Give it a good toss to ensure every bit of cabbage and carrot is coated with that smooth, creamy goodness.
- Season it with some salt and pepper to taste. Remember, it’s all about balancing those flavors!

- Once it’s mixed well, cover the bowl and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Letting it marinate helps those flavors meld together beautifully.
And there you have it! A simple yet scrumptious coleslaw that’s sure to be a hit at any gathering. Pair it with some fried chicken, ribs, or whatever dish you fancy! Enjoy!
