2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (16-ounce) bottle Thousand Island dressing
18 rye bread slices
12 sandwich size Swiss cheese slices
2 pounds corned beef, thinly sliced
Softened butter or margarine

1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a nonstick 5 quart saute pan over medium-high heat; add cabbage, vinegar, and salt, and sauté until tender. Drain, if necessary, and let stand 30 minutes.
2. Spread dressing evenly over 1 side of each bread slice. Layer 12 bread slices evenly with cheese, cabbage mixture, and corned beef. Stack layered bread to make 6 (2-layer) sandwiches, and top with remaining bread slices.
