Directions
Place all the ingredients in a measuring cup, whisk, and let infuse for at least 30 minutes, or longer, while you make the salad. Pour the dressing in a fine mesh strainer, into a clean measuring cup.
Place the shredded cabbages in a large bowl. Add the rest of the salad ingredients. Pour desired amount of the dressing over the salad (may not need all of it), and toss to combine, and serve.
