Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot. Toss them together to mix evenly.

Pour the creamy dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Use a spatula or large spoon to gently toss and coat the vegetables evenly with the dressing.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together before serving. Enjoy!
