Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp celery salt
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Add the 1 cup mayonnaise, 3 tbsp white wine vinegar, and 3 tbsp granulated sugar to a medium bowl and whisk for about 1 minute until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Add the 1/4 tsp celery salt, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp fine salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then whisk for 30 seconds until smooth.
  3. Taste and adjust salt or vinegar as needed, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
  4. Stir once, pour over prepared cabbage, toss to coat, and transfer to a serving bowl for the table.

Notes

The dressing genuinely improves with an overnight chill, so if you have the time, make it the day before. The celery salt is doing a lot of the work in this recipe; if you substitute it, taste carefully and adjust, because the overall flavor shifts more than you'd expect. This recipe makes enough to dress about 6 cups of shredded cabbage.
