Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 small heads shredded cabbage
2 cups chopped celery
3 tomatoes, diced
12 radishes, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
Dressing:
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup corn or canola oil
1/2 tsp finely ground basil
1/4 tsp finely ground oregano
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss together chopped cabbage, celery tomatoes, radishes and garlic. Refrigerate for up to three hours. Just prior to serving, mix vinegar, oil and spices in a small bowl. Heat for 45 - 60 seconds in a small saucepan or in the microwave, until hot. Pour over cabbage salad, toss and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor, select fresh and crisp cabbage. Look for heads that are heavy for their size and have tightly packed leaves.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help it wilt more easily and absorb the dressing better.
  • If you don't have white wine vinegar, you can substitute apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. However, white wine vinegar will give the salad a more authentic flavor.
  • Be sure to season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. This will help to balance out the flavors of the vinegar and oil.
  • For a more colorful salad, add some chopped carrots, celery, or radishes.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. It will keep for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Wilted cabbage salad is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage.
