Why You'll Love This Recipe

This slaw keeps the process centered on two parts: chopped cabbage and carrots in one bowl, then the dressing ingredients mixed in another. Once the dressing is poured over the vegetables, the slaw goes into the refrigerator.

The recipe also gives you control over the dressing amount. Add the amount you want to the cabbage and carrots, or use the full batch of dressing as written.

Ingredients You'll Need

Use one medium-sized head of cabbage and 1/2 cup of carrot chips for the vegetable base. The cabbage is trimmed before it goes into the food processor, and the carrots are processed after the cabbage.

For the dressing, gather 1 cup mayo, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, and 1/2 cup sugar. These ingredients are mixed well in a separate bowl before they are added to the cabbage and carrots.
