Follow The Directions
01
Step
In a large bowl, gently combine the shredded white cabbage and shredded carrot (if using). (2 minutes)
02
Step
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and red wine vinegar. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (1 minute)
03
Step
Pour the vinaigrette over the cabbage mixture and toss well to ensure all the cabbage is evenly coated. (2 minutes)
04
Step
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may want to add a touch more olive oil for richness or vinegar for tang. (1 minute)
05
Step
Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or chill for a refreshing treat later. This salad actually benefits from sitting for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of dried oregano or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the vinaigrette.
If you don't have red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar or lemon juice can be used as substitutes.
Thinly sliced red onion or bell pepper also makes a great addition to this salad.
Make sure to finely shred the cabbage and carrots for the best texture.
