A classic creamy coleslaw that retains its crunch and doesn't get soupy thanks to an osmosis-based pre-salting technique.

  1. Thinly slice the cabbage and red onion using a mandoline or knife.

  2. Grate the carrot using the large holes of a box grater.

  3. Combine the cabbage, onion, and carrot in a large bowl.

  4. Add the sugar and salt to the vegetables and toss to combine; let sit for about 5 minutes to draw out excess liquid.

  5. Rinse the vegetables thoroughly with cold water to remove the salt and sugar.

  6. Drain the vegetables well, using a salad spinner to remove remaining moisture.

  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and herbs to make the dressing.

  8. Combine the dried vegetables with the dressing by hand, tossing well.

  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
