Coleslaw

I'd never made coleslaw before. But today I thought I'd give it a go.
I don't know why I waited so long, it's easy!
And sooooo much better than any store bought coleslaw.
It was the perfect accompaniment to our easy Friday night frozen fish & chips!



I haven't added measurements for this recipe because you can add as much or as little as you like to suit your taste.

Get This -
  • sugar loaf cabbage, finely shredded
  • purple cabbage, finely shredded
  • shallots, finely shredded
  • carrot, grated
  • fresh basil, finely shredded
  • mayonnaise
  • lime juice
  • salt & pepper

Do This -
  1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and serve.
  2. Too easy!
