1. In a bowl or jar, mix the vinegar, water, salt, sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
2. Pour the vinaigrette over the shredded cabbage.
3. Toss lightly to coat.

Cook’s Note

This cabbage salad becomes more flavorful as it rests. After adding the vinaigrette, let it sit for about 20 minutes, then toss again before serving. The cabbage will soften slightly while still staying crisp and refreshing. You can adjust the sweetness or acidity to taste, depending on how tangy you prefer your salads.
