Since I’m a mother of two, I like to keep things simple and easy. I like to use the organic pre-cut bag of shredded cabbage and carrots. It just saves time. You can also cut your vegetables. Either way works.

- First, clean your pre-cut cabbage mix. I like to use a salad spinner for this. Then, place it in a clean bowl.
- Next, make your dressing. Mix the mayo, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Finally, add dressing to the cabbage and carrot mixture and mix well together. Then serve.
