Cabbage's one shot at redemption, drowned in mayonnaise and given a second chance.

means A side dish of shredded raw cabbage (and often carrots) bound in a creamy or vinegary dressing.

from From Dutch koolsla — kool meaning 'cabbage' and sla short for salade, 'salad.' Dutch settlers brought the dish and the word to America, where English speakers heard 'cold slaw' in it and reshaped the spelling to match, a classic bit of folk etymology — the dish has nothing to do with temperature, only cabbage.
