Ingredients
- 1 head (medium-sized) Red cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 0.5 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage and thinly slice it into fine shreds. Place the shredded cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots, then add them to the bowl with the cabbage.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, minced garlic, and olive oil.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the dressing and mix well to combine.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat all the vegetables in the dressing.

For an optional crunchy garnish, sprinkle croutons over the coleslaw just before serving.
Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
