Ingredients

Directions

  2. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and thinly slice the wedges into matchstick strips.
  3. Place the sliced cabbage in a large mixing bowl and toss with a pinch of salt to help soften slightly.
  4. Let the cabbage sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture, then drain if necessary.
  5. Toss the cabbage with your preferred vinegar and oil dressing until evenly coated.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
