Coleslaw for the strong - the weak should walk, if they eat it the lame will walk.
This is an old recipe, Great Grandma from North Dakota and Bohemia old. Most people don't know they are eating coleslaw because it's not what they expect. It isn't traditional sweet flavor, and it's not quite as creamy but you are going to love it...or else.
1 head of cabbage (slice thin, 1/4" wide or smaller) discard core.
1 medium sized onion sliced thin
1-2 tbl + of kosher or large grain salt (a bit more doesn't hurt)
1-2 tsp cumin
1 tsp+ ground pepper corn
2-3 tbl lemon/lime juice (plenty)
2 tbs garlic (roughly a few buds chopped fine)
1/2 cup mayonaise
(add as desired or not) sage, dill, cayenne, tomatos (olives, cucumbers, cooked whole kernel corn will work too)
mix well in a large bowl, add mayo and salt or lemon/lime juice to fit your slaw. This will never be sweet and creamy, instead call it aggressive and tasty.
