- 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 – 1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar (or honey)

- For example, many people like their coleslaw on the sweeter side, but you may not like your salads to be sweet. Use as much sugar and acidity as you like. You can also use all kinds of vinegars, it doesn’t have to be cider vinegar. You can just as easily use plain white vinegar.
- Add part of the dressing to the salad and mix. You may not need to use all the dressing. It depends on how big your cabbage is and also how creamy you like your salad. Keep the salad refrigerated. You can make this salad well in advance and just store it chilled.
