Classic Coleslaw
One of the most perfect summer salads/sides! I love making coleslaw at home because it takes just a few minutes, I can control what ingredients go in it, and the result is usually so much better than if I were to buy some/order it out.
Classic Coleslaw
serves 4-6
1 medium cabbage, thinly sliced
sea salt
1-2 medium carrots, grated, julienned, or cut into sticks
freshly ground black pepper
a dash of celery seed/celery salt, or to taste
1/4 cup mayo (regular or vegan), or to taste
3-4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, or to taste
sugar or honey, to taste, if your cabbage is not quite sweet enough
Add the cabbage to a large bowl, along with a pinch of salt. Massage the cabbage with your hands, until juicy and collapsed in size.
Add the carrot, plenty of pepper, celery seed/salt, mayo, vinegar, and sugar/honey, if using. Mix well to incorporate. Taste the slaw for salt and sweetness, adjust if needed. Enjoy cold.

Feel free to add other crunchy vegetables (just slice them thinly like the cabbage) and herbs.
