Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage using a sharp knife, mandoline slicer, or food processor. You should have about 8 cups of combined cabbage.

Step 4
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, and toss thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly.

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 6
Cover the coleslaw bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for 2-3 hours.
