Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams White cabbage
- 2 medium Carrot
- 15 grams Parsley
- 1 medium Lemon
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Optional chili flakes
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage if they appear wilted or damaged. Rinse the cabbage thoroughly under cool running water.
Slice the cabbage into quarters and remove the tough core from each section. Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a food processor with a slicing attachment.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Set the grated carrots aside.
Chop the parsley finely and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped parsley.
Juice the lemon into a small bowl, ensuring there are no seeds. Add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and optional chili flakes. Whisk together until fully combined to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if needed.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
