Ingredients
•
1 pound cabbage
•
1 tablespoon kosher salt
•
1/4 cup mayonnaise
•
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
•
1 tablespoon coarse-grain mustard
•
1 tablespoon honey, or more to taste
•
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
•
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
Directions
1
Halve and quarter cabbage head; cut out and discard core. Slice leaves into ½-inch ribbons; place in a bowl and sprinkle in salt. Massage cabbage until it begins to soften, about 1 minute; set aside for 10 minutes, tossing occasionally. Transfer cabbage to a colander; rinse well under cold water. Drain thoroughly.
2
Combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
3
Squeeze cabbage as dry as possible; add to dressing. Toss until thoroughly combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Toss and taste before serving.
