Chef's tips
Massaging the raw cabbage with fine salt breaks down tough fibres and softens the texture without losing crunch. Let the slaw sit for at least thirty minutes before serving so the sweet vinegar lightly pickles the vegetables.
Ingredient substitutions
- cider vinegar → distilled malt vinegar or white wine vinegar
- celery seeds → caraway seeds or yellow mustard seeds
- caster sugar → clear honey or maple syrup
Storage
Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to four days.
Reheating
Serve chilled or at room temperature; do not reheat.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Adding mayonnaise, which turns the dressing heavy rather than sharp and refreshing.
- •Cutting the cabbage too coarsely, which makes the slaw tough to eat inside a bagel.
- •Serving immediately without giving the vinegar dressing time to soften the vegetables.
