Ingredients

For the Marination
  • 1.1 pound green cabbage
  • 1 Tablespoon salt *see post for salt qualities
  • ½ cup lukewarm water
For the Dressing
  • 2 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup oil *see post for a recommendation
  • ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper Ground
  • 1 Teaspoon Caraway Seeds Whole
To garnish
  • chives fresh chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rinse your cabbage and discard outer tough layer.
  2. Shred your cabbage and place into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add salt and lukewarm water to the cabbage and combine.
  4. Leave the coleslaw to marinate for at least one hour to take out excess waters and to soften the coleslaw.
  5. Rinse the coleslaw quickly under running water and strain well + tap dry with a clean kitchen towel to get rid of all waters.
  6. Pour vinegar and oil over the coleslaw in a salad bowl, season with black pepper and caraway seeds and combine well.
  7. Sprinkle some cut chives over the slaw to garnish and serve cold.

Notes

  • The cabbage marinated in the salt and excess salt is rinsed off. So, you don't need to salt the cabbage later on again. Yet, if you feel your slaw lacks salt, you are free to salt it a little more.
