For 4 servings

Salad

5 cups green cabbage, shredded
2 cups red cabbage, shredded, or use more green cabbage
1 cup carrot, shredded, or use more cabbage

Dressing

¼ cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons oil, vegetable, canola, or light olive oil
1½–2 tablespoons white sugar, adjust to taste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon salt

Equipment

Jar
Large bowl

Instructions

Step 1: Shake the dressing ingredients in a jar. Start with 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and adjust to taste.
Step 2: Place the salad ingredients in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and toss. Set aside for 20 minutes; the mound will reduce by almost half and become juicy. Serve.

Notes

For make-ahead prep, refrigerate the chopped cabbage and dressing separately, then toss them together when you’re ready to serve. The chopped cabbage and dressing keep for up to a week, depending on how fresh the cabbage is. Once dressed, the salad keeps for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.
