- 1 tablespoon of vinegar
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- A pinch of salt

Shred the cabbage and carrot.

Tips
It is crucial to squeeze out the water from the cabbage thoroughly. This prevents the salad from becoming watery and helps the flavors to be absorbed better.
The order in which you add the seasonings and ensuring they are well incorporated each time is key.
The flavor improves over time, making it suitable for preparing in advance.
You can also add ham or lemon juice for a refreshing twist.
