1 small head red cabbage, shredded

1 onion, diced

2 apples, cored and diced

1/3 cup Balsamic or wine vinegar

1 tsp. oil or cooking spray

1/4 tsp. salt, or to taste

Lightly spray a large frying pan with oil or cooking spray. Sauté the onion and apples until soft between 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Shred the cabbage and add to the cooked onion and apple. Add the vinegar, brown sugar and caraway seeds. Stirring to mix the ingredients.
