  2. Add Seasonings: Add the pepper, sweet pickle juice, and the pickle relish if you're using it.

  4. Combine: Mix everything thoroughly until the cabbage is evenly coated. If you prefer a creamier slaw, feel free to add an extra dollop of mayonnaise until it's just right for you!

Notes

Tammy's Tips

Shredding the cabbage with a box grater instead of buying pre-shredded bags makes a world of difference in the texture,it allows the juices to really mix with the dressing. For the best flavor, let your slaw sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving; this gives the pickle juice and mayo time to really soak into that fresh cabbage!
