1 large red onion, finely sliced on a mandoline or by hand

1 large carrot, peeled and grated on the large holes of a box grater (see note)

1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley leaves

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons dijon mustard

1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

3 tablespoons sugar

Wskazówki

For the Slaw Mix:

Combine cabbage, onion, carrot, and parsley in a large bowl, leaving plenty of room to toss (you may have to use 2 large bowls if your bowls are not large enough). Sprinkle with sugar and salt and toss to combine. Let rest 5 minutes, then transfer to a large colander and rinse thoroughly under cold running water.

Transfer rinsed mixture to a salad spinner and spin dry. Alternatively, transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet lined with a triple layer of paper towels or a clean kitchen towel and blot mixture dry with more paper towels. Return to large bowl and set aside.

For the Dressing:

Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, black pepper, and sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until homogenous.

Assemble

Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, sugar, and/or vinegar if desired.

Notatki

WHY IT WORKS

• Salting the cabbage, carrot, and onion purges excess moisture that would otherwise turn the slaw into a soupy mess. Including sugar (another osmosis-inducing ingredient) balances the flavor.

• Limiting the purge to five minutes keeps the cabbage crunchy.

• Drying the purged and rinsed cabbage on towels—rather than squeezing out the excess moisture—preserves its texture and flavor.

• Shredding carrots at an acute angle relative to the plane of the grater produces longer strands.
