Cabbage Slaw Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 medium head green cabbage, finely shredded

• 1 yellow onion, diced

• 8 tablespoons Sunflower Oil

• 6 tablespoons White Wine Vinegar

• 2 teaspoons Honey

• 2 teaspoons Caraway Seeds

• 2 teaspoons Salt

• Pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cabbage
   In a big bowl, mix the shredded cabbage with salt. Massage the cabbage until it becomes tender and releases its juices, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Drain the excess liquid.

2. Make the Dressing
   In another bowl, mix the honey, chopped onions, sunflower oil, vinegar, and caraway seeds using a whisk.

3. Combine
   Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Gently mix everything together until the vegetables are well-coated with the dressing.

4. Chill
   Cover the bowl and refrigerate the slaw for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly. I like to prepare this salad the day before serving.

5. Serve
   Before serving, give the slaw a final toss.
