Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

6 cups medium-size red cabbage (organic, if possible), coarsely sliced
3 tablespoons white vinegar
Kosher salt
Use one of the following:
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Salt
3 tablespoons wine vinegar
2 tablespoons shaved carrot
4 tablespoons organic nonfat yogurt
3 tablespoons Hellmann's mayonnaise

Note: If you use a flavored salt or Old Bay seasoning, eliminate the kosher salt.
If you use wine vinegar, eliminate the white vinegar.
If you use carrot, eliminate the dill.

Steps:

Toss cabbage with 3 tablespoons white vinegar and a few generous pinches of kosher salt. Let stand a few minutes to allow the cabbage to begin to change chemically as it absorbs the ingredients. Add one of the special seasonings in the list. Toss again with 4 tablespoons yogurt. When the cabbage is fully coated, toss with 3 tablespoons mayonnaise. Stir in 2 tablespoons dill weed and serve.
