Ingredients

  • 1 pound cabbage (about 1/2 head)
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon tumeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill

Instructions

  • Slice the cabbage as thinly as possible. Toss with salt and let sit in a colander in your sink for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours; salt a little longer if your cabbage is not sliced as thinly.
  • Rinse the cabbage extremely thoroughly. Taste it to make sure you rinsed all the salt off. Drain or dry in a Salad Spinner.
  • Grate carrots with a coarse Grater, or alternatively julienne the carrots very finely and salt with the cabbage and combine with cabbage in a large bowl. 
  • Chop dill very finely (the ¼ cup measurement is after chopping).
  • Mix mayonnaise with mustard, turmeric, paprika, vinegar, and dill. Pour over cabbage and carrots and toss until thoroughly coated. It’s best if you cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Stir before serving.
