  • Mediterranean Cabbage Salad Recipe

I suggest we go directly to the ingredients I will use in this recipe because I thought not to make a simple cabbage salad but to modify it a little to bring it to a higher level.

Ingredients

This salad recipe is perfect for six people. But even if there are leftovers, no worries! Store them in the fridge for up to three days. In fact, the flavours tend to meld even better overnight, making it even tastier the next day.

Because I had a large head of cabbage, I will use only half, that is about 800 g of fresh cabbage. I will use two more carrots, two red apples, one cucumber and 100 g of red radishes.

And for an extra spring flavour, I thought I'd add a bunch of spring onions.

How to Make the Mediterranean Cabbage Salad Recipe?

Grating the Ingredients

I will start by grating and cutting all the ingredients in a larger mixing bowl so I can mix more easily. I start with the red radishes and the carrots that I will grate on the large grater.

Continue with the cucumber, which I peeled, but if you want, you can leave it like this, after which I also grate it on the large grater. Also, I did not remove the core of the cucumber because I will remove the excess liquid from the salad anyway.

I add the apples that I also put on the large grater without peeling them, and the spring onion is cut into 2-2.5 cm (1 inch) pieces.

I left the cabbage at the end, and after cutting it in two, I will slice it thinly with a knife. Whoever wants can just as well grind or slice in a food processor.

Mediterranean Cabbage Salad Recipe-Shredded Cabbage

I add sliced cabbage over the other ingredients, season with two tablespoons of sea salt and mix the ingredients well so that the salt reaches everywhere.

Squeeze All

Let the ingredients sit for about 5-10 minutes, during which time the salt will soften them and extract the water from them. After that, with my hand, I will take a quantity of salad that I will squeeze and put it in another bowl.

Thus the salad will contain much less liquid and be easier to season. Otherwise, after a day of sitting, the salad will be very moist and look unpleasant.

Now I can season, I will add a tablespoon and a half of chopped dill, three tablespoons of white wine vinegar, a teaspoon of freshly ground pepper, half a teaspoon of sugar and about two and a half tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Mix again with a wooden spoon, taste if you want to season with something according to your tastes, and ready, this was my Mediterranean cabbage salad recipe, ready to be served.

Serving

Put the cabbage salad in a serving bowl and place it in the middle of the table, where each will be served on a plate with steaks. Cover the remaining amount with cling film, which can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
