Red Cabbage Cole Slaw

This goes well with fish and chips.

Ingredients for the cole slaw:
1 head purple cabbage, tough bottom ribs discarded, leaves shredded
3 carrots, peeled and grated
1 red onion, peeled and very thinly sliced
1 cup malt vinegar
kosher salt
1 1/2 to 2 cups mayonnaise
2 T Dijon mustard

Preparing the cole slaw:
Combine the cabbage, carrots and onions in a large serving bowl. Douse the vegetables with the malt vinegar, season with salt and let sit for at least 1 hour to soften the cabbage.

Stir in the mayonnaise and the mustard. Taste for seasoning which should be creamy and tart. Serve cold or at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers.

Serves 6 to 8
