Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2-3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 3-4 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp dried onion flakes

Vegetables

  • ½ cabbage medium, shredded or chopped fine
  • 2 carrots medium, shredded fine

Instructions
 

4+ hours before serving

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk the ¾ cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp milk, 2-3 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, 3-4 tbsp white vinegar, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp dried onion flakes together.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, though 8+ hours is optimal. The flavour develops most after several hours.
  • Thoroughly mix the shredded cabbage and carrots together in a large mixing bowl.

Notes

Once the dressing is mixed with the cabbage, it'll start to go watery. After 12 hours, it'll still taste good, but will lose the creaminess.
