2 Set the saucepan over moderate heat, bring to a boil, and cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the vinegar mixture. Return to the heat and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Stir in the yogurt if desired.
3 To prepare the salad: In a large bowl, toss together the red and green cabbage, carrots, green onions, salt if desired, and dressing. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
