After coleslaw has set in the brine for 1 hour, drain and rinse very well. Using a salad spinner remove as much water as possible.

Freeze dry. To reconstitute, sparingly add water until the desired consistency is achieved.

1 1/2 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp vinegar

1/4 tsp mustard

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup milk

 

Combine ingredients and mix very well

1/4 tsp mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup dill relish
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp pepper

Mix all ingredients together well. And there you have it!
