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:
- Choose the right cabbage. Green cabbage is the most common type used for coleslaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a mix of both. For a sweeter coleslaw, use a sweeter variety of cabbage, such as Savoy or Napa cabbage.
- Shred the cabbage finely. This will help the coleslaw to absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage. This will give you clean, even shreds that will hold their shape in the coleslaw.
- Add other vegetables to your coleslaw. Some popular additions include carrots, celery, red onion, and bell pepper. You can also add fruits, such as pineapple, apple, or grapes.
- Make your own dressing. It's easy to make your own coleslaw dressing at home. You can use a simple vinaigrette dressing, or you can add other ingredients, such as mayonnaise, sour cream, or yogurt.
- Let the coleslaw chill before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
Conclusion:
Coleslaw is a versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. You can also serve it as a side dish for fried chicken, fish, or pork. No matter how you choose to serve it, coleslaw is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
