Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellman's)
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups shredded cabbage or 3 cups coleslaw mix
  • 8 slices pumpernickel bread
  • softened butter
  • 3/4 lb sliced black forest ham (or other good-quality ham)
  • 4 slices thin large dill pickles

Method

  • Combine mayonnaise with vinegar, salt and sugar.
  • Add cabbage and coat well.
  • Butter bread - this is important as the butter makes a 'lining' to prevent the bread from getting too soggy, and it tastes good too.
  • Layer ham and slaw on bread.
  • Top with a dill pickle slice.
