This salad serves 6–8. It takes about 10 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients

• a 450 g bag of precut coleslaw (alternatively finely slice a half a small white cabbage and a half a small red cabbage, and grate a large carrot into the mix)
• a quarter of a red onion, finely chopped
• a handful of flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
• 3 heaped tbsp of good quality mayonnaise
• a quarter cup of boiling water

How it's done

1. Prepare the salad: Empty the precut coleslaw into a large mixing bowl. Add chopped red onion and chopped parsley. Add mayonnaise and boiling water. Stir through.
2. Serve it up: Place it on a pretty, large plate with a pair of tongs nearby. Let guests help themselves.
