Ingredients

  • ¼ cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ¼ teaspoon celery seed
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ large green cabbage (about 1 pound), cored and shredded fine (about 6 cups)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and grated

Directions

  1. Combine ¼ cup vinegar, oil, celery seed and pepper.
  2. Place bowl in the freezer until the vinegar mixture is well chilled, at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
  3. While the mixture chills, toss cabbage with ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a large microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Cover with a large plate and microwave on high power for about 1 to 2 minutes, until cabbage is partially wilted and has reduced in volume by 1/3.
  5. Transfer cabbage to a salad spinner and spin until excess water is removed, 10-20 seconds.
  6. Remove bowl from freezer, add cabbage and carrot, and toss to combine.
  7. Refrigerate until chilled, about 15 minutes. Toss again before serving.
