Krautsalat – Cabbage Salad

Serves 8 – 10

Ingredients

1 head (about 1.5 lbs) white (green) cabbage, finely shredded
salt
sugar
caraway seeds (whole or ground)
pepper
white wine vinegar (or apple vinegar)
vegetable oil or 1/2 cup chopped bacon, cooked until crunchy
1 medium onion, fried until crunchy (optional)

Directions

Add 1 tablespoon salt to the shredded cabbage, mix well, and let stand for 15 minutes.

Squeeze the cabbage, and mix again. (This helps the cabbage to let water, and makes it more tender.)

Season to taste with caraway seeds, a spoonful of sugar, vinegar, and oil. Mix well and let stand for 30 minutes to allow flavours to combine. Serve lukewarm.
