Pour in the lemon juice and white vinegar, and whisk again until everything is fully incorporated. These ingredients will add a bright tang to the dressing, cutting through the richness of the mayonnaise.
Season the dressing:
Add the salt and pepper to taste. Start with the recommended amounts, then adjust to your liking after mixing the dressing with the vegetables.
Step 3: Combine the Vegetables with the Dressing
Add the cabbage, carrots, and onion:
Once the dressing is smooth, add the finely chopped cabbage, shredded carrot, and minced onion to the bowl.
Use a large spoon or spatula to fold the vegetables into the dressing, ensuring that every piece is thoroughly coated.
Step 4: Let It Sit
Refrigerate:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator.
For the best results, let the coleslaw sit for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Overnight is even better as the cabbage softens slightly and absorbs more of the dressing, which enhances the flavor.
Stir before serving:
Before serving, give the coleslaw a good stir to redistribute the dressing that may have settled at the bottom. Taste again, and if needed, adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or even a splash of vinegar for extra tang.
Step 5: Serve
