Categories Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/2 small red cabbage
2 carrots, coarsely grated
1 fennel bulb, cut into quarters and shredded
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 ounces mayonnaise
salt and pepper

Steps:

Place all the vegetables in a bowl then toss well. Stir in the mayonnaise to coat the salad, then season with lots of black pepper and a little salt.
Serve.

Tips:

For a vibrant red cabbage coleslaw, choose a head of red cabbage that is firm and heavy for its size.
Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help the dressing to better coat the cabbage and make the coleslaw more crisp.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with a slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the cabbage, or it will become mushy.
To make the dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as Dijon mustard, honey, or celery seeds.
Once the dressing is made, toss it with the cabbage and other vegetables. Be sure to coat all of the ingredients evenly.
Serve the coleslaw immediately, or chill it for later. Coleslaw is best when served within a few hours of making it.

Conclusion:

Red cabbage coleslaw is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a refreshing and flavorful side dish, give red cabbage coleslaw a try!
