Ingredients

1/2 of a medium napa cabbage, finely sliced
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup finely sliced green shiso leaves
1-2 teaspoons chopped Thai basil (optional)
1 large tart apple (I used a Granny Smith), cut into medium julienne (without peeling)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons organic mayonnaise (regular or vegan), or more to taste
Pinch of sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1

In a large bowl, toss the cabbage with a pinch of salt.
2

In a small bowl, toss the julienned apple with the vinegar.
3

Reserving the vinegar, add the apple pieces to the bowl with the cabbage.
4

Add the shiso, and Thai basil, if using, and toss well.
5

Stir the sugar into the vinegar. Then, whisk the mayonnaise into the vinegar; pour over the salad. Toss well to combine. When you think you''re done, keep going for another 10 or 12 strokes. It may not look like much dressing, but you really don''t need a whole lot.
6

Let it sit for at least an hour; then, toss the slaw well. Check for salt and pepper and correct, if necessary.
7

Toss again before serving.
