Simplicity rules in this slaw, where equal amounts of cider vinegar and sugar create a straightforward sweet-and-tangy flavor that's incredibly versatile, not to mention delicious.
Why this recipe works:
- A sugar-and-salt mixture purges the cabbage of excess moisture, leaving it tender, but still crunchy and well seasoned.
- An equal amount of vinegar and sugar gives this slaw a tangy and sweet character.
- Celery seeds add a light celery flavor and some pleasing texture.
