What You Will Need:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
| Hellmann's Mayonnaise | 200g |
| Large Shredded Cabbage | 1 |
| Shredded Carrots | 4 |
| Dijon Mustard | 2 tablespoons |
| Large White Onion | 1 |
| White Wine Vinegar | 2 tablespoons |
Directions:
1 - Remove any bruised or damaged outer cabbage leaves. Halve through the stem, remove the dense core with a sharp knife and discard. Put cut side down onto a chopping board and slice as finely as possible into thin shreds.
2 - Grate the carrots on a box grater to shred coarsely. Tip into the bowl. Finely slice the onion as thin as possible, and add to the bowl with the other veg.
3 - Add the mustard, mayonnaise, and vinegar: season well, and taste for sharpness and creaminess. Add more vinegar if you like. Mix everything well with a large spoon. Stir so all the veg gets coated lightly in the dressing.
Note: It can be covered and chilled for up to 3 days. Mix well before serving.
