remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage, then cut it in half. Remove the hard core and stem, then grate the red cabbage coarsely into a large bowl.
peel the 2 carrots with a vegetable peeler. Peel the onion and grate it, along with the carrot, into the large bowl. Mix together the grated red cabbage, carrot and onion.
mix the mayonnaise and red wine vinegar sauce through the grated red cabbage, carrot and onion. "only mix the dressing through the red coleslaw if you intend to serve the salad soon after making it. If you do it too far in advance, the vegetables will become too soft.
season the red coleslaw with salt and pepper. If you wish, you can let the flavours infuse by putting it in the fridge for an hour. Enjoy!
