  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • ⅛ tsp celery seed
  • ¼ small yellow onion, minced
  • 3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Toss the cabbage, carrot, and salt together in a colander set over a plate. 
  • Let stand until the cabbage wilts, at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours. 
  • Rinse the cabbage and carrot under cold running water (or in a large bowl of ice water if serving immediately). 
  • Press, but do not squeeze, to drain; pat dry with paper towels. Place into the refrigerator until ready to serve. 
  • When ready to serve, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, and celery seed together in a large bowl; whisk until well combined.
