For an even more intense flavor, consider making the dressing a day ahead and refrigerating it. Feel free to experiment with different types of mustard to customize the flavor profile. If you prefer a creamier slaw, add a bit more mayonnaise. For a vegan option, substitute the mayonnaise with a plant-based alternative and ensure the honey is replaced with agave or maple syrup.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Cabbage: Halve and quarter the cabbage, removing the core. Thinly slice the leaves into approximately 1/2-inch ribbons. Place in a large bowl and sprinkle with kosher salt. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepMassage and Rest: Gently massage the salted cabbage for about 1 minute until it starts to soften. Let it rest for 10 minutes, tossing occasionally to ensure even salting. This process draws out excess water and sweetens the cabbage. (Rest time: 10 minutes)
03
StepRinse and Drain: Transfer the cabbage to a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove the salt. Drain extremely well. Squeeze out any excess moisture with your hands or using a clean kitchen towel. (Drain time: 5 minutes)
04
StepWhisk the Dressing: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, coarse-grain mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper. Adjust honey and cayenne to your preference. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
05
StepCombine and Chill: Add the drained cabbage to the dressing. Toss thoroughly to coat every strand. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. (Chill time: 60 minutes+)
06
StepServe: Before serving, toss the slaw again. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with fresh chives or chive blossoms for an extra touch of elegance.
