6 cups shredded green cabbage -- well packed

1 medium carrot -- peeled and coarsely grated
1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss well to mix. Set aside for 1 hour or longer, refrigerating if necessary.

AuthorNote: This is the deliciously spicy and sour salad that is served with papoosa, the stuffed corn breads of El Salvador. It is so good that it has almost replaced coleslaw in my household. I make it at least an hour ahead of time as it needs to sit and "pickle" in its own juices. You can even make it a day in advance; just keep it covered and refrigerated. Here I used half of a 2-pound green cabbage, cored, with the coarse outer leaves removed.
