This is my mother's recipe and when I was a kid I preferred it sweeter. But now that I'm an adult, I only use a dash of sugar to offset the vinegar. I also often use bagged fresh shredded cabbage and carrots to save time.
Stir all the ingredients together in a large bowl until well mixed. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
My kids hate caraway seeds and raisins so I often divide the cabbage and make two salads - 1 for the adults with caraway and raisins and 1 salad for the kids without those ingredients. But sometimes I just make them eat raisins because I'm not in the mood to cater to them. LOL.
