Salt And Squeeze Slaw Food

SALT-AND-SQUEEZE SLAW

Steps:

• Combine vegetables and onion in a medium bowl; season generously with salt. Let sit until they start to release their water, 8-10 minutes, then begin to massage, gently at first so they don't break, then harder as they begin to expel their liquid, until softened to about the texture of coleslaw. Pour off all excess liquid and add vinegar and oil; toss to coat. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Do Ahead: Slaw can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

CUCUMBER-RADISH SLAW

• Peel English cucumbers. Halve lengthwise; slice cucumbers very thinly on the diagonal.

• Transfer to a bowl; toss with minced red onion, cider vinegar, olive oil, and 1 teaspoon sugar; season with salt and ground pepper. Serve immediately.
