Inspired by an episode of Good Eats. The main idea is to wilt the cabbage a bit in order to achieve a day-old texture, without waiting a day.
What’s in it:
- 1 head cabbage
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons creme fraiche
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 1-2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 grated carrot
- salt and pepper
How to do it:
Start about 2 hours early or sooner. Shred the cabbage. Toss with salt and squish up a bit, put in a salad spinner or strainer over a bowl. Wait about an hour, then rinse with fresh water. Dry off the cabbage a bit by spinning or squeezing. Mix up the other ingredients, then toss with the shredded cabbage. Chill and serve.
