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
Directions
Step 1
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage if they appear wilted or damaged. Rinse the cabbage thoroughly under cool running water.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Set the grated carrots aside.
Step 4
Chop the parsley finely and set it aside.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped parsley.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Toss everything well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if needed.
Step 9
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
