Delicious Diners Salad (Cabbage Salad)

(Shared recipe submitted by Anne Pokras.)

Anne writes: "This salad is a wonderful side dish with a meal. There was a very famous diner in Newark, N.J., called the Weequahic diner. Later on it moved to Verona, N.J. and was called the Claremont diner. I remember going there and always finding a bowl of this delicious salad on the table. It is really worth making. You will get compliments galore."
