What to do

Shred the cabbage: Cut the cabbage in half , the quarters. Peel off a few of the thin outer layers. Cut out the tough core in the middle. Slice each quarter crosswise into thin shreds, or run the quarters through a food processor with a shredding blade. Transfer the shredded cabbage to a large mixing bowl.

Dry mix everything apart from the Mayonnaise

Blend in some dry white wine or apple cider – small amount – if you wish

Add enough mayonnaise to bind everything together without making it too sloppy.

Chill for an hour in the fridge – to combine the flavours.

Server and enjoy.

 

To keep

Cover and place the leftovers in the fridge and it should keep for a few days – depending how tasty it is to the fridge bandits!
