Ingredients

1 medium head of cabbage
1 generous shaking of salt
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp sugar
mayonnaise to taste
black pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Peel outer leaves from cabbage and cut into fourths. Remove core and cut into smaller pieces.
2. Place about 1/3 to 1/2 of the cut pieces into a Ninja, Vitamix, or a blender and add water to cover. Pulse a few times until cabbage is shredded.
3. Pour into a large strainer to drain off water. Repeat with remaining cabbage. Once all of the cabbage has been shredded and placed in the strainer, press out excess liquid using the back side of a spoon.
4. While the drained cabbage is still in the strainer, sprinkle with salt. Mix in vinegar and sugar. Let stand for about 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Using the back side of a spoon, press out any additional liquid. Once cabbage is fairly dry, transfer into a large bowl. Spoon in mayonnaise, as much or as little as you desire and mix well. Sprinkle with pepper (if desired), cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Serve as a side or on hot dogs, hamburgers or pork barbecue sandwiches. Enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Southern-Style Coleslaw:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and other vegetables. This will help the coleslaw to absorb the dressing more evenly.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
Use a variety of vegetables in your coleslaw. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include carrots, celery, red onion, and green bell pepper.
Make sure the dressing is well-seasoned. The dressing is what really makes the coleslaw, so don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste.
Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to become more crisp.

Conclusion:

Southern-style coleslaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a simple and flavorful side dish, give Southern-style coleslaw a try.
