- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- paprika, to taste
- kosher salt, to taste
Directions
-
In a large bowl, add the coleslaw mix.
-
Place the onions in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse with cold water to soften the flavor, about 1 minute.
-
Gently ring out the onions in a paper towel, then stir them into the coleslaw mix.
-
In a pint jar, add the sugar and the 3 tablespoons of water and stir until the sugar dissolves a bit.
-
Add the mayonnaise, the apple cider vinegar, the mustard powder, the paprika, and the salt to the sugar-water mixture, cover the jar with the lid, and shake vigorously until the mixture is combined.
-
Stir the dressing mixture into the coleslaw.
-
Let the coleslaw marinate and soften, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
-
Taste the coleslaw and season with more of the salt as needed.
-
Serve.
