How to Make the Ultimate Burger Slaw

Make the burger sauce base:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, and American mustard until smooth. -

Prep the coleslaw veggies:
Finely shred the white cabbage and red onion, then grate the carrot. The finer you slice, the better the texture of your slaw will be. -
