I think I'll try this next time without salting the cabbage. I rinsed, rinsed, rinsed and dried, dried, dried and still this turned out very salty. So, health knock #1: high sodium. Also, the rinse water was the most gorgeous shade of blue, so health knock #2: I feel like all that vitamin A went down the kitchen drain. Also, once the cabbage volume was reduced, there was way too much dressing. I thought I was being careful to not put on too much, but I misjudged so now I've got mush. Have to say the dressing is delicious, though.
