5 teaspoons white wine vinegar
5 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano, optional
1/2 teaspoon basil, optional
2 cups cabbage, very finely shredded

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, pepper, oregano and basil. Place the cabbage in a separate large bowl and pour the dressing over. Using clean hands, squeeze and knead the cabbage well to release juices. Do a taste test and adjust the flavor to your preference. Put a heavy bowl on top of the salad and weigh it down. Leave the salad to rest overnight in the refrigerator. I usually make a bigger batch than I have written up here because this cabbage salad makes a marvelous accompaniment to other dishes too. It keeps well for 5 to 6 in the fridge. When the salad starts to smell like an old scouring cloth, it's time to throw it away.
