Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve cold or at room temperature.
For the slaw: Place vinegar and oil in a small saucepan and bring to a boil Place 3/4 of the cabbage in a large bowl and add the hot vinegar mixture and stir well. Add the caraway seed and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix together all ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, until wilted.
