Paco's Coleslaw Revisited

I've been tweaking my coleslaw recipe over the years. My most recent switch/addition is to get rid of the milk and put heavy cream in its place. Oh yeah! I just love the creamy result.

Prep – 5 min. Refrigerate – at least an hour to set.

Half to a whole head of green cabbage
1 whole carrot
half onion finely diced
1/3 c. sugar
¼ tsp salt
pinch of pepper
¼ c. heavy cream
¾ c. mayonnaise
½ tsp garlic powder
1 Tbs white vinegar

Directions
1)   In a small non-metal bowl, mix the sugar, salt, pepper, heavy cream, mayo, garlic and vinegar. Mix with a non metal utensil until blended. Set aside.
2)   Mayo/Milk mixture sets, finely slice the cabbage. Grate the carrot, dice the onion. 
3)   In a large non-metal bowl, add the cabbage, carrots, and onion. Pour mayo/milk mixture over the cabbage. Mix well. Let sit for at least 30 minutes while you finish prepping the rest of your meal.

Feel free to add in red cabbage or any other veggies or fruit you would like. 
Others I have tried:
Broccoli
Mushrooms
Cucumbers

One suggestion from a friend: Pineapple. Will be trying it next!
