A vibrant mix of cabbage, carrot, radish and spring onions, topped with mixed seeds, this delicious coleslaw is an easy homemade version of Nando’s Rainbow Slaw… except I’ve tweaked it to make it taste EVEN BETTER! (Serves 4-8, depending on appetite and accompaniments)

Notes

Step 7

Using 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar gives the coleslaw a really nice tang, which contrasts nicely with the creaminess of the mayo (and is similar to the tanginess of Nando’s Rainbow slaw). However, if you prefer a less tangy flavour, I recommend using only 1 tablespoon of the vinegar.

Step 8

Not suitable for freezing.
