Description
Homemade mayo elevates this simple slaw. Perfect with pulled pork or enjoyed on its own.
Ingredients
Units
- 6 cups (1422 ml) shredded white cabbage
- 1 red onion, sliced
- handful of chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/3 cups (79 ml) homemade mayonnaise
- apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- honey
- salt and pepper
- 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cold water
- 3/4 cups (177 ml) canola oil or another neutral oil - but not olive, which will make your mayo bitter.
Instructions
- Whisk together all mayonnaise ingredients except the oil until frothy. Then, add the oil drop by drop while whisking fast. Once the mayonnaise starts emulsifying and expanding, add the oil in a slow, steady stream while continuing to whisk.
- Mix 6 cups of shredded white cabbage with 1 sliced red onion and a handful of chopped fresh cilantro.
- Whisk together 1/3 cup homemade mayonnaise with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper to taste.
Notes
- For a tangier slaw, increase the apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in the dressing.
- To make ahead, prepare the slaw and dressing separately and combine just before serving to prevent the cabbage from wilting.
- If you don’t have homemade mayonnaise, use a high-quality store-bought mayonnaise instead. The flavor will differ slightly.
