-
Shred the cabbage as finely as possible (I chop it into VERY thin strips).
-
It should measure about 10 cups.
-
Place in a large bowl.
-
Thinly shred the onions and add to the cabbage.
-
Add 1/3 of the sugar and salt and mix well.
-
Let stand while cooking the dressing.
-
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a saucepan and boil hard for 5 minutes.
-
Immediately pour over the cabbage and stir very well.
-
Refrigerate at LEAST one day (two or three days is preferable).
-
This salad keeps well for about a week.
