Instructions
For the brine
- In a large bowl, whisk together all of the brine ingredients and set aside.
For the coleslaw
- Slice the cabbage into very thin pieces about 2-3 inches in length. Using a mandoline makes the process much easier.
- In a large bowl, mix the cabbage and carrots into the brine making sure to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, but ideally overnight. Halfway through the refrigerating process mix the cabbage again to achieve even coating.
- The next day, drain the cabbage to remove excess moisture. Mix the mayonnaise with the cabbage until smooth. If needed, add a bit more mayo to get the perfect creamy consistency. Taste test, and adjust salt and pepper before serving.
Notes
- The key to getting that New York deli coleslaw flavor is the brine. If you can wait, let the cabbage sit in the brine for 2 days before mixing it with mayo. This is how most delis do it.
- White pepper can be used for appearance.
- Leftovers can be saved for up to 5 days and taste even better after a few days.
