Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Purple cabbage
- 1.5 cups Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Start by washing the purple cabbage thoroughly under cold water.
2. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly shred the purple cabbage into fine strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Sprinkle the shredded cabbage lightly with salt and massage it with your hands for about 1-2 minutes. This will help soften the cabbage and release some of its natural juices.
4. In a small bowl, prepare the yogurt dressing by combining Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
5. Add the yogurt dressing to the bowl with the softened cabbage. Toss everything together until the cabbage is evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
6. Transfer the salad to a serving plate or bowl. Optionally, garnish with fresh dill for added flavor and a touch of green.
7. Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to enhance the flavors. Enjoy!
