Ingredients
1 small head green cabbage, shredded thin
2 medium carrots, coarsely grated
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Shred the cabbage finely using a sharp chef knife or food processor.
Grate the carrots using the coarse side of a box grater.
Combine the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots and toss gently with tongs.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
Letting the salt draw out moisture before adding dressing makes the final product significantly crisper. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
