Ingredients:

Approximately 500 gm cabbage, very finely grated
2 carrots grated
1 red apple, finely chopped
Sufficient mayonnaise to hold it all together.

 

Method:

Combine the cabbage carrot, apple and mayonnaise.

Serves 6 - 8 (in my family it only serves 4 as my teenagers devour it like crazy)

 

Notes:

Mayonnaise is not healthy. Consequently you should use the minimum amount necessary to bind your coleslaw together.
