- 1/2 med Green Cabbage thinly sliced
- 1/2 sm Purple Cabbage thinly sliced
- 2 med Carrot shredded

- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Granulated White Sugar
- 1 tsp White Vinegar

Notes
Use Plain Greek Yogurt: instead of mayonnaise, and adjust the vinegar to your liking as the yogurt has a tangy flavour on its own.
Coleslaw Variations: for a multi-coloured or multi-textured coleslaw, use a combination of green cabbage, red cabbage, savoy cabbage or napa cabbage varieties.
Taste & Adjust: Add more mayo for creaminess, more sugar for sweetness, or more vinegar for tang.
