Instructions

  1. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it into quarters, remove the core and slice it into fine strips.
  2. Peel the carrot and grate it finely. Slice the red onion very thinly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrot and onion, then add the grated cheddar.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, crème fraîche, vinegar, mustard and sugar until you have a smooth dressing.
  5. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix well so every strip is coated.
  6. Season with salt and pepper, then let it rest 15 minutes in the fridge so the cabbage softens slightly.
  7. 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.
