July 4th: German Cabbage Salad

What's July 4th without a refreshing salad?  It's not!  My family loves this salad because it's light and crisp.  Plus it's easy to make since it needs to sit overnight for maximum flavor!

This is another throw-it-together-and-forget-about-it recipe!  I prefer to do anything I can before a party because that means I spend it with my guests rather than in the kitchen.
