- pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Using a food processor or box grater shred cabbage and carrots. Place in a large bowl. Set aside.

Notes
To make this easier I use a food processor to shred the cabbage. It makes the job so simple. I like the thinly shredded cabbage that you get when you do it at home. You can also buy pre-shredded cabbage and this recipe would be together in about 5 minutes. Use whatever method is best for you.
