- Add around 1/4 C of salt to the shredded cabbage and stir. Let sit for around 8 hours, stirring about every 1/2 hour to hour. The cabbage will get very wet and much less crispy. Add the shredded carrot after about 6 hours.
- Rinse and drain the cabbage and carrot mix thoroughly and put in a medium bowl.
- Mix the mayonnaise, vinegar and celery seed together, and add to the cabbage and carrot mix. Mix thoroughly, and salt and pepper to taste. Chill and serve.
Salting the cabbage before making the slaw eliminates the raw cabbage flavor. Be sure to thoroughly rinse or it will be massively salty! I suggest using a salad spinner to drain.
The original recipe calls for white wine vinegar, which is pretty good, but the apple cider vinegar is also really good, so either will work.
