Instructions

Place the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt and pepper in a large bowl and stir to combine.
Add the grated carrot and stir well.
Add the finely sliced cabbage and stir again.
Add the finely sliced spring onions and chives, and stir well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle over the remaining spring onions and chives as a garnish and serve.

Notes

You can use white wine vinegar, if you prefer, but apple cider vinegar tastes better in my opinion. The vinegar helps balance the flavour of the coleslaw, cuts through the creaminess and stops it being too rich and cloying, but you can leave it out if you prefer.
Not suitable for freezing.
