Mint Cole Slaw

We made this a few days ago and it is delicious!

Mint cole slaw

2 heads cabbage
salt (less than a tablespoon, more than a teaspoon)
white or apple cider vinegar (1/2 cup - 1 cup)
Mint (about 1/4-1/2 cup chopped)

Cut the cabbage into shreds, removing the core. Put it into a big bowl.  Add the chopped mint. Sprinkle salt all over the greens, then mix it up, and sprinkle more salt.  You want enough salt to wilt the cabbage. Drizzle vinegar over it. Let it sit for a few hours and mix it all up again. If it tastes too salty or vinegary rinse a bowlful off in the sink and add it back into the coleslaw.

The taste is really unusual, and I didn't like it the first time I had it, but now I crave it when its warm out!
