4
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
directions
- 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.

Deliciousio! I used a different bread and instead of pickles (DH does not like pickles) I put in some fresh pineapple chunks and that was yummy and more importantly made him happy. LOL! I did not have enough cabbage so I also grated some carrot to go into the slaw mixture. Thanks for sharing another keeper. Made for ZWT4 the Flying Dutchess'. -
Made these for lunch yesterday, and everyone was well pleased. I've used the mayo combination before, as a salad dressing. Never thought to use it for my slaw dressing as well. The rye pumpernickel was a great choice for this sammie. And the buttered bread was inspired! Never thought to use it as a lining. Will use it again on other "wet" sandwiches. Thnx so much for posting this, evelyn. Made for ZWT4. -
My kind of sandwich. I went for the cabbage option because you can't get slaw mixes here and the coleslaw was nice on its on as well on the sandwich. I did go for brown bread too because I have never seen pumpernickel on British shelves. I have ham and coleslaw sandwiches before but I particularly liked this because of the lack of onions in the coleslaw as I am not a fan of raw onion and that tends to take away from my enjoyment of the sandwich. I used splenda, fat free mayo and low fat margarine to actually make this fairly healthy too. Made for ZWT4.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
