1 pound or about 6 cups of cabbage, finely shredded
Toss these together and place in colander over a bowl and allow to drain for at least one hour and up to 4 hours.
DO NOT RINSE! The sugar keeps the salt from making the mix bitter.
Toss with the oil and vinegar. Season with black pepper. At this point, add the red pepper.
Put into as wide a container as you can because it is best to stir every hour or so to blend as the juices drain.
Poster's Notes:
I like the contrast of grated and shredded which is why the cabbage is shredded and the carrot grated.
I don't use the celery salt. I use canola oil.
Supposedly, it keeps 2 days. I made it once for a party, miscalculated and instead of doubling, I quadrupled! It was great 7 days later.
It is very forgiving because you can add vegetables to it.
