Notes
Adjusting the quantity of coleslaw
You can increase or decrease the amount of coleslaw by adjusting the ingredients proportionately. If you're just looking to make a small amount of dressing - for example you want to make one cup of coleslaw, use: A matchbox-sized piece of cabbage, 1/4 of a carrot, a tsp of grated onion, 2 tbsp mayo, 1.5 tsp sour cream, a few drops of white wine vinegar, a pinch of salt, 1/4 tsp sugar and a tiny pinch each of mustard powder and white pepper.
