How to Salt Cabbage for Crunchy Coleslaw
Salt the cabbage. Toss 1 head of prepared cabbage with 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Let it sit. Place salted cabbage in a colander over a bowl for 1 to 2 hours. The salt pulls moisture out of the cabbage, seasons it, and leaves you with a super-crunchy texture that isn’t raw or
tough-tasting.
Rinse! Rinse well to purge the salt.
Get rid of the excess water. Squeeze cabbage dry with paper towels or take it for a spin in a salad spinner to remove the excess water. “}}
