Instructions
- Slice the cabbage very finely; you could use a mandolin. Place it in a large bowl, add some salt, starting with 2 teaspoons. Knead the cabbage thoroughly with your hands, taste, and add more salt if not salty enough. Don't overdo it, though, with the salt. Cover and let it stand in the fridge for at least 6 hours and up to 24.
- Chop the onion very finely.
- Dressing: Mix the crème Fraiche with the onions, add the vinegar and add everything to the cabbage. Mix well and adjust the seasoning with salt (if still necessary), pepper, sugar, and more vinegar if necessary; the salad should be on the sour side. Finally, add a splash or two of milk to loosen the dressing.
- Chop the herbs very finely and add them to the salad.
- Refrigerate: Stir well and keep refrigerated until ready to serve. It keeps for several days in the fridge.
Notes
- Dairy: The original dressing is made with German Schmand, which is a bit stiffer than creme fraiche. The most similar product is smetana (Eastern European sour cream). You can also use regular sour cream.
- Herbs: You can substitute the fresh parsley and chives with frozen herbs. Please don't use dried parsley and chives for this recipe.
