Main Ingredients- 1/4 head of cabbage
- 1/2 Tbsp coarse salt
Dressing Ingredients- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/3 Tbsp ginger syrup
- 1/2 Tbsp plum extract
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/3 Tbsp ginger syrup
- 1/2 Tbsp plum extract
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, wash it thoroughly, and then thinly slice it using a mandoline slicer. Sprinkle the sliced cabbage with 1/2 Tbsp of coarse salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to wilt. Rinse the wilted cabbage lightly under running water and drain well in a colander.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients: 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp whole grain mustard, 1 pinch of salt, 1/3 Tbsp ginger syrup, and 1/2 Tbsp plum extract. Whisk well to create a delicious dressing. Using ginger syrup adds a more profound and subtle sweetness and flavor.
Step 3
After salting and draining, gently squeeze the cabbage to remove as much excess water as possible. Removing the moisture is key to preserving the cabbage’s crispness. Using a salad spinner can help remove water more effectively.
Step 4
Pour the prepared dressing over the squeezed cabbage and mix gently but firmly with your hands. Ensure the dressing is evenly distributed throughout the cabbage.
Step 5
Your crisp and refreshing cabbage salad with tangy vinaigrette is ready! It’s a great side dish for meals or a light option for a healthy salad.
