Yields: 4 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

* 1 head green cabbage, shredded

* 1/2 head red cabbage, shredded

* 1/2 cup shredded carrots

* 1/4 cup chopped celery (optional)

* 1/4 cup chopped red onion (optional)

* Dressing:

* 1/4 cup sour cream

* 1 tablespoon white vinegar

* 1 tablespoon sugar

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Shred the cabbage: Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to shred the cabbage into thin strips.

2. Combine vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, shredded carrots, celery (if using), and red onion (if using).

3. Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.

4. Toss to coat: Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat evenly.

5. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

* Shredding: You can use a food processor to shred the cabbage, carrots, and celery quickly.

* Dressing: Experiment with different flavor combinations. Try adding Dijon mustard, honey, or paprika to the dressing.

* Variations: Add other vegetables like bell peppers, shredded zucchini, or chopped broccoli for extra nutrients and flavor.

* Serving: Coleslaw is a classic side dish for BBQ, but it can also be enjoyed as a light lunch or snack.
