Calories: 76kcal
Ingredients
- ½ head green cabbage finely shredded (6-8 cups)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar or white vinegar
- 2-3 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pinches crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Finely shred the cabbage or slice it into very thin ribbons.
- Place the cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle in the salt. Massage the salt into the cabbage with your hands until it begins to release its juices. Set aside for 5-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing by combining the oil, white wine vinegar, sugar, dried oregano, dried basil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Whisk until combined.
- Once the cabbage has rested for at least 5 minutes, add the dressing to the cabbage and toss well to combine.
- Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, and seasonings to your liking.
- Cover the salad and marinate for 1 hour (or up to 24 hours) if possible to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Serve as a side salad with your favorite main dishes.
Notes
Storing: Keeps well in the fridge for up to 1 week when covered tightly. Freezing is not recommended.
No sugar: If you want to skip the sugar you can easily substitute a granulated sugar of your choice that measures 1:1 with sugar. You could substitute it for honey or maple syrup, or leave it out altogether.
Vinegar: Feel free to use white vinegar, cider vinegar, or red wine vinegar instead of the white wine vinegar in this recipe.
