Cabbage Coleslaw
- On a cutting board, thinly slice green and purple cabbage. Using a box grater, grate the carrots (or buy pre-grated clean and in the bag) and place it in a large bowl.
- Pour the dressing on the purple and green cabbage and carrots, and toss using tongs. Best if served that day.
Optional Dressing Add-Ins:
You can make this dressing creamy if you wish and add ½ cup of mayonaise, sour cream, or greek yogurt.
