Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make coleslaw:
1. Gather the ingredients: You will need cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
2. Prepare the cabbage: Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and then cut it in half. Remove the core from each half and thinly slice the cabbage into shreds. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
3. Shred the carrots: Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or a food processor. Add the shredded carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
4. Make the dressing: In a separate smaller bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Adjust the ingredients to your taste preference, adding more sugar for sweetness or more vinegar for tanginess.

6. Refrigerate and let it sit: Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
7. Serve and enjoy: After the coleslaw has chilled, give it a final mix and serve it as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches, burgers, or tacos.
