Red Cabbage Salad

Red cabbage salad

I like the vibrant color of this cabbage, but the color easily fades, it could stain other ingredients, so it has to be made just before serving. This salad cleanses the palate especially when having fish.

Ingredients:

½ clove of red cabbage (finely shredded)
2 carrots ( grated )
1 white onion ( finely sliced)
2 teaspoons lemon zest (grated)
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper
6 Tablespoons olive oil

Preparation:

Blanch shredded red cabbage in salted boiling water for 5 seconds and drain in a colander. In a mixing bowl, mix cabbage, carrots, onion, and lemon zest. Toss with your fingertips to combine all the ingredients. Add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle olive oil. Toss altogether again until well combined. Serve as side dish.
