Method
Mise-en-place to be applied (preparation of all your ingredients and utensils).
Firstly- thinly slice your cabbage, carrots and spring onion. Then grate your apple. Add them in a large bowl and add the salt, white pepper and black pepper.
Secondly- add the mayonnaise and salad cream and mix well until everything is well coated. your coleslaw is now ready to be served. I would recommend to put it in the fridge to let it chill for few minutes, this is because I believe that it taste better when its chilled.
Food allergy/ substitute
For those who are lactose intolerance you can make your own dressing for your coleslaw. You can add a salad dressing or make your own dressing instead of putting salad cream and mayonnaise.
For the dressing mix 3 tbs of virgin olive oil, 1/2 tsp of mixed herbs, 1 tbsp of white sugar, 3/4 cup of apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Then add the dressing to the prepared ingredients. Enjoy!
