Ever thought about making your own coleslaw? Did you know it’s actually REALLY easy to make? Well I’m here to show you that making your own is nowhere near as difficult as you think. And it tastes WAY better than shop bought!

Coleslaw is a much loved side. I’ve personally devoured SO MUCH coleslaw in my lifetime! It’s always been a favourite of mine.

I mean, it goes with everything! A slice of Gran’s ham and cheese quiche? Perfect with coleslaw. A slice of naan bread pizza? Also perfect with coleslaw! Juicy air fryer chicken? Guess what… it goes really well with coleslaw!

It’s such a versatile side dish. You can change up the vegetables or switch out mayo for a different dressing. It’s ideal for taking to gatherings and barbecues too.

If you’d rather not have sides that are smothered in mayo, you might like this vinegar coleslaw recipe and fresh tomato salsa.

Easy Coleslaw – Step by Step Picture Recipe

Here is what you will need to make A LOT of coleslaw! (At least 2kg.)

Ingredients

• 1/2 White Cabbage
• 1 Small Yellow Onion
• 4 Carrots
• 1 x 600g Jar of Mayonnaise *

*I used Hellmann’s Full Fat Mayonnaise.

Essential Equipment

• Food Processor with Grating Disc
• Very Large Bowl

Instructions

First thing’s first, prep your vegetables ready for the processor.

Chop the cabbage up into rough pieces, peel and quarter the onion, peel the carrots and chop the tops off (yes, I know, I forgot to chop the tops off before I took the photo!)

Using the grater attachment/disc in your food processor, push through all the vegetables and blitz until they’re grated. You may need to do this in a couple of batches as this will make a surprising amount!

Tip the grated vegetables into a large bowl. Then realise you haven’t used a big enough bowl and get a bigger one…

That’s better… Now give it a quick mix.

Here comes the magic. Tip in every last drop of that mayonnaise and give it a really really good mix until everything is absolutely smothered in the stuff.

Et vous voila! That’s it. Seriously. All done.

Cover with cling film and pop into the fridge to allow to flavours to develop for 30 minutes before serving and that’s your lot my friend!

Store in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 3-5 days.

There really is no need for any fancy ingredients or methods. All it requires is just 4 ingredients, a food processor and a big bowl to make incredibly delicious, easy coleslaw!

I promise this will go down a treat at your Summer BBQs. Go on, have a go and see for yourself!
