Instructions
- Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it into quarters, remove the core and slice it into fine strips.
- Peel the carrot and grate it finely. Slice the red onion very thinly.
- In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot and onion, then add the grated cheddar.
- In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, crème fraîche, vinegar, mustard and sugar until you have a smooth dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix well so every strip is coated.
- Season with salt and pepper, then let it rest 15 minutes in the fridge so the cabbage softens slightly.
- Sprinkle with parsley if using and serve well chilled.
Variations and tips
Lighter version. Replace the mayonnaise with Greek yoghurt and the crème fraîche with fromage blanc for a lighter salad.
