Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 small heads shredded cabbage
2 cups chopped celery
3 tomatoes, diced
12 radishes, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
Dressing:
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup corn or canola oil
1/2 tsp finely ground basil
1/4 tsp finely ground oregano
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss together chopped cabbage, celery tomatoes, radishes and garlic. Refrigerate for up to three hours. Just prior to serving, mix vinegar, oil and spices in a small bowl. Heat for 45 - 60 seconds in a small saucepan or in the microwave, until hot. Pour over cabbage salad, toss and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For the best results, use a firm, fresh head of green cabbage or red cabbage.
  • Wash the cabbage thoroughly: Rinse the cabbage under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly: Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to shred the cabbage into thin strips.
  • Wilt the cabbage: There are two ways to wilt the cabbage:
    • Blanching: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cabbage and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cabbage is bright green and tender. Drain the cabbage and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
    • Salting: In a large bowl, combine the cabbage with 1 tablespoon of salt. Massage the cabbage with your hands for 5-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is wilted and softened.
  • Make the dressing: While the cabbage is wilting, make the dressing. The dressing typically consists of a combination of olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  • Combine the cabbage and dressing: Once the cabbage is wilted, drain it well and add it to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and toss to coat.
  • Add additional ingredients: At this point, you can add additional ingredients to the salad, such as crumbled bacon, chopped nuts, or grated cheese.
  • Chill the salad: For the best flavor, chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
