Ingredients

  • 100 g (3.5 oz) red cabbage cored and finely shredded
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) white cabbage cored and finely shredded
  • 1 medium (4.2 oz) carrot (approx. 120g) peeled and grated
  • 2 spring onions finely sliced
  • 75 g (2.6 oz) light mayonnaise
  • 75 g (2.6 oz) half-fat crème fraiche (see Notes)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh chives (optional) snipped, to garnish

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the red and white shredded cabbage, grated carrot and spring onions.
  • Then, add the mayonnaise, crème fraiche, mustard and white wine vinegar. Stir together until well combined well.
  • Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the snipped chives, if using, and set aside for at least 30 minutes. This time will allow the vinegar to work its magic and soften the cabbage slightly.

Notes

  • Reduced fat sour cream is a good substitute if you don't have crème fraiche. Or try Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a tangy, healthier twist.
  • Dairy-free option - use vegan mayo or an olive oil based dressing.
  • Spicy kick - add jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat.
  • This red and white coleslaw recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
