Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 340g (12 oz) green cabbage, very finely chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, finely grated
  • 2 tbsp white onion, very finely minced
  • 120ml (½ cup) mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp whole milk
  • 1½ tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp white sugar
  • ½ tsp fine salt
  • ¼ tsp celery salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Finely chop the 340g (12 oz) cabbage so pieces are no longer than 5mm, grate the 1 medium carrot, and mince the 2 tbsp white onion. Add everything to a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the 120ml (½ cup) mayonnaise, 2 tbsp whole milk, 1½ tbsp white wine vinegar, 2 tbsp white sugar, ½ tsp fine salt, ¼ tsp celery salt, and ⅛ tsp black pepper until smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
  3. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and fold together for about 1 minute until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Stir before serving, adjust salt to taste, and spoon into a serving bowl with a few extra grinds of black pepper on top.

Notes

This slaw is one of those recipes where the chilling time really does matter. Two hours is the minimum, but overnight gives you noticeably better flavor. If you're making it for a crowd, the recipe doubles and triples cleanly, and it stays good in the fridge for 3 days.
