Notes

Let this old fashioned cabbage salad with vinegar chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to blend.
This vinegar dressing can be used on other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or cucumbers. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken or fish.
