The 67 food processor is broken and on a busy day, there was neither time nor energy to finely slice cabbage and carrots by hand.
A regular tub of M&S fat-reduced coleslaw (just over a pound in money) was a decent solution but jazzed up with a few important changes was more than just 'nice'.
Supermarket coleslaws are saturated in dressing; dump the lot in a sieve and let it sit over a bowl for awhile so that some of the mayo drains off. When ready, scrape underside of sieve to remove even more mayo. Place in a bowl.
Add a little heat - tabasco or hot sauce - and/or some finely chopped fresh chilli (as mild or hot as you like) or a pinch of chilli flakes. Mix.
Stir in a generous portion of bite-size chunks of - ideally - mango. If the cupboard is bare of mango, try peaches or chopped orange segments.(See how to segment an orange at bottom of page here.
It's not home-made but it will definitely do!
