Start with 1 pound of coleslaw mix, which includes red cabbage and cabbage.

Add about 1/2 cup of shredded carrots to the mix.

Chop and add about 1 cup of onion (red, green, yellow, or white).

Chop and add a bell pepper to the mixture.

Add a handful of fresh parsley to the bowl.

Drain and add mandarin oranges from a can in light syrup.

Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of sea salt and 2 teaspoons of black pepper to the mixture.

In a measuring cup, combine 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar, 1/4 cup of orange juice, and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil (canola).

Add 1/3 cup of sugar to the dressing mixture.

Whisk or shake the dressing until the sugar dissolves.

Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and stir to combine.

Refrigerate for 1 hour (or overnight) to allow flavors to meld.

After an hour, check the coleslaw; it should have released juices and the flavors will have combined well.

Transfer to another bowl for serving and garnish with fresh orange.
