"Another delicious Italian recipe from La Cucina Italiana magazine. I did not include the resting time - about 30 minutes. This is meant to be served at room temperature. Enjoy!"

Tasty salad! I didn't have white wine vinegar so I used seasoned rice vinegar and left out the sugar. You don't think the vinegar mixture is enough but it slowly wilts the cabbages and it turned out great. Made for Zaar's Newest Star Tag Game 2012
