How to Make Aunt Nell's Coleslaw

  1. Remove the tough green outer leaves of the cabbage and discard or save for another use (like making stock!).
  2. Finely shred the remaining white cabbage using a knife or a food processor. Aim for a consistent shred size for even texture.
  3. In a large bowl, gently combine the shredded cabbage, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and dill pickle relish.
  4. Add the mayonnaise, starting with 1/2 cup. Toss gently to coat the cabbage evenly. Add more mayonnaise, if needed, to achieve your desired creaminess and ensure all ingredients are well combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the coleslaw to chill thoroughly. For an even better flavor, chill for 2-3 hours or even overnight!
