Basic Coleslaw Recipe

Blanch the sliced cabbage in boiling water, then immediately put in an ice bath. Drain all the excess liquid.

In a separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and sugar until well-combined. 

Add the cabbage, carrots, pineapple chunks, and raisins to the mayonnaise mixture. Set aside to chill for about 30 minutes before serving.
