*Hellman's mayonnaise is the best, in my opinion. It's the highest quality product you can buy at your regular store.
You can also shred your own cabbage and carrots if you'd prefer not to buy a pre-shredded bag, but if you want to use an entire head of cabbage you may need to double or even triple the dressing for this recipe.
Broccoli slaw would also be excellent instead of the standard cabbage mixture!
