¼–½ cup (about 50-100ml) cider vinegar (optional)

Notes, tips and variations

– Savoy cabbage can be used instead of white cabbage
– other vegetables can be added to the coleslaw for greater variety, including:
sliced bell peppers – red, yellow and orange
grated carrots
chopped nuts – e.g. almonds, walnuts
– Some people prefer to sweeten the dressing by adding up to 2 tablespoons of sugar to the mayonnaise and vinegar
– Spices can be added to the dressing to “liven it up” – e.g. ground black pepper, celery seeds
