Steps:
- Remove any bruised or damaged outer cabbage leaves. Halve through the stem, and remove the dense core with a sharp knife and discard. Put cut side down onto a chopping board, and slice as finely as you can into thin shreds. You can also do this on a mandoline (you might want to quarter before slicing) or in a food processor with the shredding attachment. Tip into a bowl.
- Grate the carrots on a box grater to coarsely shred, or cut into thin strips using a julienne peeled or the grater attachment on the food processor. Tip into the bowl. Finely slice the onion, and thin as you can, and add to the bowl with the other veg. Add the herbs if using. A mixture is nice if you have some to use up.
- In a jug, whisk the mustard, mayo, yogurt and vinegar. Season well, and taste for sharpness and creamy. Add more vinegar if you like.
- Tip the dressing into the veg bowl, and mix everything together well with a large spoon. Stir so all the veg gets coated lightly in the dressing. Sprinkle with a few pinches of paprika, and serve straight away. Can be covered and chilled for up to 3 days. Mix well before serving.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp cabbage and carrots. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
- Shred the cabbage and carrots finely. This will help the coleslaw absorb the dressing more evenly.
- Make sure the dressing is well-balanced. You want it to be creamy and tangy, but not too sweet or sour.
- Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to become more flavorful.
- Serve the coleslaw as a side dish with your favorite grilled or fried foods. It's also great on top of burgers or hot dogs.
Conclusion:
Creamy homemade coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
