Pre-Salting Cabbage

Keep cabbage in coleslaw crispy and avoid watery dressing at the bottom of the bowl by pre-salting the cabbage! Once a cabbage is shredded, sprinkle it with about a tablespoon of salt and toss to coat. Let the salted cabbage sit in a colander over a bowl for about an hour. At this point the salted cabbage can be rinsed and dried in a salad spinner or by squeezing out water with a towel. Proceed with your favorite coleslaw recipe and enjoy a perfectly prepared side dish! What’s your favorite coleslaw combo? Let us know in the comments!
