My Tips:

  1. For the best results, pulse the vegetables in shorter increments until you get the chop you desire.

  2. If you don’t have a food processor, you can chop the cabbage and carrots into small fine pieces using a sharp chef’s knife.

  3. In a fine-mesh sieve, rinse carrots under cold water after they’ve been chopped, to wash away some of the extra carrot juice that could tint the coleslaw orange.

  4. One-half small cabbage finely chopped, should produce roughly 4 cups.

  5. Cabbage and carrot should always be 6:1 ratio.

  6. The taste of coleslaw should be sweet with just a hint of vinegar.

  7. Mixing up the ingredients will help diffuse the flavours throughout the coleslaw.

  8. Mix until you have a smooth mixture.

  9. The taste should be a little sweet with just a hint of vinegar.

  10. The dressing becomes little watery if cabbage and carrot leave its juices. Add 1 tbsp mayonnaise at the end and give a final mix.

  11. Amount of dressing may be increased or decreased according to the amount of coleslaw you are making.

  12. The coleslaw allows tastes better the next day.

  13. To save time you can use store-bought chopped coleslaw cabbage carrot mix.
