Jon's Untested Last Minute Coleslaw

Ingredients

  • 2 cabbage heads
  • 20g salt
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/8 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon honey dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons ground tellicherry/peppercorn

Slice each cabbage

  1. Slice Cabbage lengthwise through core using a chef's knife
  2. Slice each cabbage half lengthwise through core.
  3. On each of the 4 pieces of cabbage, cut off the core with an angled cut.
  4. Thinly slice each piece, then roughly chop all slices (just 2-3 times or so).

Pickle the cabbage

  1. Place sliced cabbage in a large bowl.
  2. Add salt, sugar, and 1/4 cup vinegar, then toss to coat.
  3. Let sit for at least 10 minutes (max 15 minutes).
  4. Completely drain the pickled cabbage. Do not compress the cabbage -- gently drain.

Add the dressing

  1. Whisk 1/4 cup white vinegar, 3/4 cup mayonnaise, and dijon mustard until combined/emulsified to make the dressing.
  2. Slowly toss cabbage with the dressing until coated.

Finish

  1. Add ground pepper to taste (probably more pepper than you think (cabbage tends to hides the flavor).
  2. Serve immediately (otherwise it'll start to get squishy).
