“Why didn’t I hear about this salad before?” fresh shredded cabbage and tomato salad with a lemon vinaigrette.
We’ve done a similar shredded cabbage salad to the one we’ll be making today. I decided to do an almost identical one as tis the season of fresh cabbage, and it inspired me to spread some cabbage love.
Why I love this salad (and I’m notorious for not loving salads except maybe the Russian and Shopska salads), is the freshness, the kick from lemon vinaigrette, and the chunky tomatoes that top it off. As
it is, after all, a shredded cabbage salad, it falls under the dreaded
cole slaw, but I assure you it’s nothing like your average one.
For one, there’s no mayo or sour cream topping that make it into a slab of disgustingness. Secondly,
this type of preparation – waiting a period after it’s shredded so its
juices seep to the bottom of the bowl, and then mixing it with the
vinaigrette and its own juices – introduces a whole new taste of this
seemingly plain plant.
This one doesn’t take a lot of time, but there is a waiting period of about 30-45 minutes after shredding. It
will pass quickly if you start by shredding it before prepping other
dinner items, and then returning to it to mix and add vinaigrette at the
end. (As it’s so simple, no preparation photos have been included.)
