Description

It’s not so easy to make a tasty raw red Cabbage salad, as it’s not a softest of vegetables.

The key to enjoy it raw and full of vitamins, is to squeeze the juices out of it and I mean it literally.

Otherwise you in for long chilling with salt and vinegar, to get similar but not as crunchy effect.

Let’s get to it then:)

 

Ingredients
  • 1
     
    small head of red cabbage
  • 1
     
    red onion
  • 1
     
    medium cooking apple
  • 1⁄2
    tsp
    salt for marinade
  • 2
    tbsp
    red wine vinegar
  • 3
    tbsp
    olive oil
  • 1⁄3
    tsp
    dry mustard or ready made one
  • 1
    tsp
    brown sugar
  • 1
    ds
    freshly ground black pepper
Instructions

Remove 2 outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it in 4 lengthwise. Remove the core and then shred it thinly. Place it in salad bowl and sprinkle with salt. Cut the onion in half, slice thinly and scatter over the cabbage. Now the time saving bit: squeeze it all with your hand really hard, mixing it the same time. Leave it to stand and in a meantime prepare the dressing. First mix the vinegar, mustard, sugar and pepper until sugar is dissolved then add the olive oil and combine together into nice emulsion. Now grate an apple, mix it well with cabbage and onion then again with all the dressing. Leave it to chill for a while before serving.

Notes

Great addition to steak or any other baked or fried meat.
