New York deli coleslaw combines shredded cabbage with a vinegar brine and mayonnaise.

area.

Ingredients
For the brine
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion grated
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Remaining ingredients
1 medium green cabbage finely shredded, about 10 cups worth
3/4 cup mayonnaise plus more to achieve a smooth consistency
1 medium carrot shredded

Instructions
For the brine
1. In a large bowl, whisk together all of the brine ingredients and set aside.

For the coleslaw


1. Slice the cabbage into very thin pieces about 2-3 inches in length. Using a mandoline makes the
process much easier.
2. 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.
3. 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.
