    The salting of the cabbage just messes up this whole recipe. Couldn't rinse the salt out of the cabbage. Ruined the rest of it. Would like to try again, but need to research how to "salt cabbage" for slaw. " "Generously for 3 hours", way to vague.

    Terrible! Bland and tasteless. Add red onion and some vinegar to give it punch.

    This was yummy, but a little bit too much room for error. I wish there was a clearer quantity for "generously" salting the cabbage. I didn't go too crazy and it was fine. I only let it soak 30 minutes or so, in case you wondered if it would work. It does.

    The buttermilk quantity seemed too much. I added it last and only used half, and put another 2 oz. of yogurt (I used the thick Greek kind back in. This seemed to do the trick. This could be adjusted to your liking, but this worked for me.

    And I concur, the salad spinner is a must. I would suggest putting the carrot in the spinner as well.

    Overall quite yummy! The pickle juice is an awesome touch.
