How to make Krausalat (German coleslaw)

Mmmh, krautsalat (German coleslaw) is something that is quite as popular in Germany as sauerkraut but much quicker to make. It's also made from cabbage and we ate it together with the flammkuchen and it was very delicious.
In Germany you would use either white cabbage or a cabbage called spitzkohl (pointy cabbage) but never seen it here in Sydney unfortunately.

Anyway, normal cabbage works just as fine. Krautalat is  is a popular side dish throughout Germany and there as many different recipes as there are cooks but it never goes without caraway seeds.

Shred cabbage finely.

Pickled cabbage with Halloween bat - booh!
