Ingredients

¹⁄₄ large green cabbage (substitute for red one if you like)
2 medium carrots, peeled
1 medium beetroot, peeled
1 jalapeno (or 3-4 slices marinated jalapeno)
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp mayonnaise (ordinary, homemade or plant-based one)
1 tsp salt
Pinch of pepper
Pinch of cumin

Instructions

I use a mandoline with several different attachments to make the job quicker and easier. When I prepare a larger batch I may opt for my favourite Ninja appliance - a food processor with a slicing and grating disk. You can also do it with a brater and a simple chef’s knife.
Slice cabbage thinly, grate carrots and beetroot. Arrange everything in a large mixing bowl and add chopped jalapeno, salt, pepper, cumin, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix well and refrigerate for 20 minutes so the vegetables soften just ever so slightly. It is ready!
For me, carrots and beetroot give enough of sweetness but if you like it a tad sweeter add a pinch of sugar. I try to avoid white sugar in general. Similarly, if you like it a tad spicier, you can add a teaspoon of mustard, but for me, jalapeno is quite enough.
