Cole slaw is, essentially, any salad of shredded cabbage. It may have some carrot and, perhaps, a little green pepper or other ingredeint. It is almost always dressed with mayonnaise or some sort of vinaigrette.

Red cole slaw is just about the easiest coleslaw to make - ever! It's a perfect salt-free side-dish - to accompany a sandwich or a sausage ... or simply as a refreshing snack. This recipe is also one of the easiest to expand or reduce. Simply count 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1/8 teaspoon of ground black pepper per cup of shredded red cabbage.

Now let's go make some Red Cole Slaw!

To make this easy, Red Cabbage Coleslaw recipe you will need:
* a cooking knife and chopping board (or shredding appliance)
* any bowl sufficient in size to contain and work the cabbage.
* a fork to mix the coleslaw
* a pepper mill or shaker (we always use freshly ground pepper)

The required ingredients for this Red Cabbage Cole Slaw recipe are:
* 2 Cups shredded red cabbage
* 6 Tbsp (3/8 C) mayonnaise or to taste
* 1/4 tsp pepper or to taste

Method: * shred cabbage * add mayonnaise (start with 1/4 cup) and pepper (start with 1/4 tsp) * Mix ingredients until fully blended * Taste and add additional mayonnaise and pepper a little bit at a time, and mix very well, until the slaw suggests just the right creamyness and "pepper" tang for your taste. (You can add more pepper later [ie, the next day] but you can't take it out. The pepper taste will become a little more prevalent as the coleslaw sits.) We like red coleslaw a little creamier and pepperier and will usually use about 7 to 7 1/2 Tbsp mayonnaise and 3/8 tsp pepper per two (2) cups of shredded cabbage.

A coleslaw tip: Coleslaw is best after it has sat for a while. Make it in a pinch or prepare it several hours or even a day in advance and let it sit in the fridge.
