Coleslaw
Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- ½ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together, chill and serve.
Recipe Notes:
- If using pre-made bagged coleslaw, use 2 ½ to 3 cups of the mix.
- White vinegar may be used in place of apple cider vinegar, but the flavor will be sharper.
- Reduced-fat mayonnaise tends to weep over time, as does cabbage, so it is best eaten within two days.
