A tangy, crunchy coleslaw made with shredded cabbage, carrots, and onion dressed in a light vinegar-based dressing rather than heavy mayonnaise.

Ingredients

1 Shred cabbage finely, grate carrots, and thinly slice onion. Combine in a large bowl.
2 Whisk together vinegar, oil, sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
3 Add minced Scotch bonnet if using for a spicy kick.
4 Pour dressing over vegetables and toss well to coat everything evenly.
5 Refrigerate for at least thirty minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Did You Know?

Bajan coleslaw is always vinegar-based rather than creamy, which keeps it refreshing in the tropical heat.
