Instructions

  1. Cut the cabbage in half, and then into quarters. Slice away the white core. Cut the quarters into 1/8 inch slices, a mandoline slicer works well for this, Put the cabbage in your largest mixing bowl.
  2. Slice the onion into 1/8 inch slices, and cut the rounds in half. Separate the strands as you add them to the bowl. Add the chopped dill and pickles and toss well.
  3. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and give it a taste to adjust. Toss the slaw with enough dressing to thoroughly moisten, but don't drown it, you may have extra dressing. Cover well and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
  4. Just before serving toss again, add more dressing if necessary, and garnish with fresh dill.

Notes

  • There's a sweet spot for serving slaw, and it's somewhere between 1 and 4 hours after it's been made.  Any less time and the flavors won't have a change to sink in and tenderize the cabbage ~ any more time and it slowly starts to break down and loose crunch and color.  That being said, the slaw will be perfectly fine the next day, I'm just being a perfectionist about it ;) Be sure to taste it before you serve it...you may want to add more salt, more vinegar, or more pepper, etc.
