Ingredients
- 6 cups green cabbage finely shredded (about ½ medium head)

- ½ cup red cabbage thinly sliced (optional, for color)
- ½ small yellow onion minced (Vidalia or sweet onion)
- 1 cup mayonnaise Duke’s or Hellmann’s recommended for authentic flavor
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white vinegar for a sharper tang

- 1 teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Finely shred cabbage and red cabbage; grate carrots; mince onion.
- In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir until sugar dissolves and the dressing feels silky.
- Give the dressing a little sample. Adjust vinegar or sugar for desired taste.
- Add shredded veggies to the bowl. Toss to coat evenly with the creamy dressing.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.

Notes
Drain excess moisture from cabbage to prevent sogginess. Adjust sugar and vinegar based on preference. Chill overnight for best flavor results.
