Lemon-infused cabbage salad with olive oil

Welcome to a refreshing and zesty recipe for Lemon-Infused Cabbage Salad with Olive Oil! This simple yet flavorful dish is perfect for a light lunch, a side dish, or a healthy snack. Packed with the crunch of fresh cabbage and the tangy zing of lemon juice, combined with the smooth richness of olive oil, this salad is not only delicious but also nutritious.

Ingredients:

4 cups cabbage
360g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tbsp lemon juice
16g
2 tsp olive oil
9g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cabbage:
- Rinse the cabbage thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.
- Pat the cabbage dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, finely shred the cabbage into thin strips. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
2. Season the Cabbage:
- Sprinkle the 1 teaspoon of salt evenly over the shredded cabbage. Use your hands to gently massage the salt into the cabbage. This helps to soften the cabbage and release excess water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes.
3. Add Lemon Juice:
- After the cabbage has softened, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixing bowl. Toss the cabbage thoroughly to ensure the lemon juice is evenly distributed.
4. Drizzle with Olive Oil:
- Drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil over the cabbage. Toss again to coat the cabbage evenly with the olive oil.
5. Final Toss and Serve:
- Give the salad one final toss to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You may add a bit more lemon juice or salt according to your preference.
6. Serving Suggestions:
- Transfer the lemon-infused cabbage salad to a serving dish.
- For extra garnish, add a sprinkle of freshly chopped herbs such as parsley or dill, if desired.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Tips:

- For extra flavor, add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper or a dash of garlic powder.

- Consider chilling the salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.

- You can add other fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for additional freshness.

- If you prefer a sweeter salad, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or a few slices of apple for natural sweetness.

- Make sure to massage the cabbage with salt before adding other ingredients to soften it slightly and bring out its natural flavors.

Enjoy your Lemon-Infused Cabbage Salad with Olive Oil as a refreshing and healthy addition to any meal.
