For 1/2 head of a medium-sized cabbage & two grated carrots:

In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup each of sour cream or yogurt and mayonnaise. To this, add a little sugar, a scant tablespoon, a little salt, 3/4 teaspoon, then a little vinegar for tang, maybe a tablespoon, perhaps a bit more.

In goes a teaspoon of celery seeds or about a half teaspoon of caraway. (Caraway is stronger – use less.) Mix together and give it a taste. Adjust to your liking.

Toss about three-quarters of this dressing with the cabbage, add the rest if needed. Take a final taste test and feel free to adjust, after all, you’re going to be the best judge!

Note: Use this recipe to scale to your amount, and if you’re just making a bit, it can all be done in one bowl. Larger amounts are best mixed separately and combined.
