Marinade Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup grated onion
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1/3 cup sugar (preferably raw sugar)
• 1/3 cup white distilled vinegar
• 1/3 cup water
• Small amount of shredded carrot (optional)

Other Ingredients:

• Cabbage (as much as desired)
• Hellmann’s mayonnaise (approximately 3/4 cup or to taste)

Instructions:

1. Grate the onion to yield about 1/2 cup and mix it with vegetable oil, white pepper, salt, sugar, white distilled vinegar, and water. You can add a small amount of shredded carrot if preferred.
2. Prepare the cabbage by removing outer leaves, cutting the head in half, and removing the core. Use a mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage.
3. Pour the marinade over the thinly sliced cabbage and mix well. Let the coleslaw sit overnight to allow the cabbage to release its liquid.
4. The next day, drain any excess liquid from the coleslaw but keep the marinade in case you need to adjust the consistency later.
5. Gradually add Hellmann’s mayonnaise to the coleslaw until it reaches the desired consistency and taste. Mix well to coat all the cabbage pieces with mayonnaise.
6. Serve and enjoy this delicious New York Deli-style coleslaw!

Tips:

• Use a mandoline to slice the cabbage thinly and evenly.
• Ensure the cabbage is well coated with the marinade to achieve the authentic taste of New York Deli coleslaw.
• If the coleslaw appears too liquid, drain further or add marinade as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
• Keep the coleslaw refrigerated to maintain freshness before serving.
