Note

For best flavor, allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. The cabbage will soften slightly and absorb the tangy dressing.

You can substitute red cabbage for green cabbage for a pop of color, or add shredded carrots for extra sweetness and crunch.

This salad keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
