Ingredients

1 medium green cabbage, cored and shredded
1/2 small onion, shredded on a box grater
1 carrot, peeled and grated (optional)
2 teaspoons salt

Tips:

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the cabbage and carrots. This will help the slaw to have a crisp texture.
If you don't have time to chill the slaw for 30 minutes, you can serve it immediately. However, chilling the slaw will help the flavors to meld and develop.
For a creamier slaw, use mayonnaise instead of vinegar. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
To make a more tangy slaw, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of rice vinegar.
You can add other vegetables to this slaw, such as broccoli, cauliflower, or red cabbage.
Garnish the slaw with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or dill.
