- 120 gCarrot, coarsely grated
- 120 gMayonnaise
- 100 gNatural yogurt
- 2 tbspLemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tspSalt
- ½ tspBlack pepper, ground
- 2 tspSugar
Equipment
refrigerator, kitchen scale, large mixing bowl, box grater, chef's knife, cutting board, colander, clean kitchen towel, small bowl, whisk, serving bowl, measuring spoon
Instructions
- Prepare Station
Gather the cabbage, carrot, dressing ingredients, scale, bowls, grater, knife, colander, towel, whisk, and serving bowl. · 5 min
What to look for: All ingredients and tools are within reach before cutting starts.
- Shred Vegetables
Finely shred the white cabbage with a knife, then coarsely grate the carrot and place both vegetables in a large mixing bowl. · 10 min
What to look for: Cabbage is thin and feathery, while carrot is in coarse orange shreds.
- Salt Rest
Sprinkle most of the salt over the vegetables, toss well, and let them stand for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. · 15 min
What to look for: Vegetables look slightly softened and liquid gathers at the bottom of the bowl.
- Squeeze Moisture
Transfer the vegetables to a colander, squeeze firmly with clean hands or a towel, and return them to a dry mixing bowl. · 5 min
What to look for: Shreds are pliable and damp but no longer dripping with cabbage juice.
- Whisk Dressing
Whisk mayonnaise, natural yogurt, lemon juice, sugar, remaining salt, and black pepper until smooth and lightly glossy. · 5 min
What to look for: Dressing is creamy, even, and thick enough to coat the whisk.
- Combine Salad
Pour the dressing over the squeezed vegetables and mix thoroughly until every shred is thinly coated and creamy. · 5 min
What to look for: The salad looks evenly dressed with no dry cabbage patches.
- Chill Salad
Cover the bowl and chill the colesław for at least 30 minutes so the dressing settles and the cabbage stays crisp. · 30 min
What to look for: Salad is cold, lightly creamy, and the shreds remain distinct.
- Serve Cold
Stir once more, taste for salt and pepper, then serve the colesław cold as a creamy Polish side dish. · 2 min
What to look for: Colesław is glossy, chilled, and piled loosely in the serving bowl.

Natural yogurt
- Mayonnaise: Makes the dressing richer and heavier, but still suits a creamy colesław.
