Ingredients
  • 1/2 Large Cabbage, quartered and shredded...by hand preferably (but I cheat and use the food processor often...it does taste better when I do it by hand though...don't know why! lol)
  • 1 Medium onion, shredded (see above)
  • 4 TBS. Mayo (I said Mayo as in Mayonaise, not that salad dressing stuff!)
  • 1/4 C. Sugar
  • 1/4 C. Vinegar

Directions
  1. Shred cabbage and onion into a large bowl, and coat with sugar.
  2. Place sugared cabbage into a collander and then collander back into large bowl let sit 30 minutes.
  3. After the cabbage has sweat, reserve 4 TBS of the liquid and discard the rest.
  4. Place cabbage back into large bowl and add to it, mayo and vinegar, add in reserved liquid and toss to coat.
  5. Store in fridge for at leat one hour before tasting and adjusting flavors by adding more sugar or vinegar depending on your taste.
  6. I recommend you wait overnight before adjusting flavors.
  7. Enjoy!

I made this but with a few shortcuts...I grated the onion and added to a bag of pre shredded cabbage, then poured over the sugar, vinegar, and mayo. It's very good made this way and I'm sure it's even better with hand shredded cabbage and allowing the cabbage to sweat.
