Flavorful German Coleslaw Recipe side dish with vinegar, caraway seeds and oil. Easy to prepare, it enriches most main course meals with its light and wholesome flavors.
Shred your cabbage and place into a large mixing bowl.
Add salt and lukewarm water to the cabbage and combine.
Leave the coleslaw to marinate for at least one hour to take out excess waters and to soften the coleslaw.
Rinse the coleslaw quickly under running water and strain well + tap dry with a clean kitchen towel to get rid of all waters.
Pour vinegar and oil over the coleslaw in a salad bowl, season with black pepper and caraway seeds and combine well.
Sprinkle some cut chives over the slaw to garnish and serve cold.
Notes
The cabbage marinated in the salt and excess salt is rinsed off. So, you don't need to salt the cabbage later on again. Yet, if you feel your slaw lacks salt, you are free to salt it a little more.
