Make an easy classic coleslaw base then tailor it to your tastes. Apple and cheese work well, plus fennel, celeriac, raisins, spring onions or fresh herbs
Ingredients
- 6 carrots, peeled
- 1 small white cabbage
- large pinch, golden caster sugar
- 3 tbsp cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp mustard (any you’ve got)
- 200g mayonnaise
- 1 red apple, cut into matchsticks (optional)
- 100g cheddar, grated (optional)
Method
- STEP 1
Coarsely grate the carrot and finely shred the cabbage (use a food processor with a grating/ slicing blade or do it by hand) and tip into a bowl. Season with salt, then add the sugar and vinegar and toss everything together. Leave for 20 mins for the vegetables to very lightly pickle.
- STEP 2
Stir through the mustard and mayonnaise and add any other bits you want to, then serve. Can be made a day ahead and chilled.
