Instructions

Finely shred the cabbage or slice it into very thin ribbons.
Place the cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle in the salt. Massage the salt into the cabbage with your hands until it begins to release its juices. Set aside for 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the dressing by combining the oil, white wine vinegar, sugar, dried oregano, dried basil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Whisk until combined.
Once the cabbage has rested for at least 5 minutes, add the dressing to the cabbage and toss well to combine.
Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, and seasonings to your liking.
Cover the salad and marinate for 1 hour (or up to 24 hours) if possible to allow the flavors to fully develop.
Serve as a side salad with your favorite main dishes.

Notes

Storing: Keeps well in the fridge for up to 1 week when covered tightly. Freezing is not recommended.

No sugar: If you want to skip the sugar you can easily substitute a granulated sugar of your choice that measures 1:1 with sugar. You could substitute it for honey or maple syrup, or leave it out altogether.

Vinegar: Feel free to use white vinegar, cider vinegar, or red wine vinegar instead of the white wine vinegar in this recipe.
