Notes
If you are using fresh cabbage that you shred yourself you may need to measure in cups. Use about 8 cups total of shredded cabbage (all green or purple and green cabbage mixes) and 2 medium carrots shredded.
You can use any mix of shredded cabbage in your coleslaw. I like to use a mix of green with a little purple cabbage for color.
Some people like to add a little bit of shredded onion to their coleslaw, I sometimes do but it depends on the crowd I am feeding. A little goes a long way with raw onion so if I do add onion, I only add a little. Thinly sliced purple onion is delicious raw. If you prefer a little less bite to the onion, sweet onion can be a great alternative.
