Tips & Tricks

  1. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into quarters.

  2. Place one quarter of the purple cabbage on a cutting board, flat side down. Carefully cut the cabbage into thin strips. Repeat the process with the remaining quarters of cabbage.

  3. Boil the purple cabbage just a little. You can add a tablespoon of lemon juice to ensure the purple cabbage retains its vibrant color.

  4. Cut the white cabbage in the same way and wash it in a colander. Leave it raw for this salad.

  5. If desired, you can add thinly sliced carrots and raisins for a different and modern twist on this cabbage salad.

FAQS

  1. Can I use only one type of cabbage?

    Yes, you can use either white or purple cabbage alone, but combining both adds a variety of textures and flavors.

  2. How long should I refrigerate the salad?

    Refrigerate the salad for at least two hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

  3. Can I skip boiling the purple cabbage?

    Boiling the purple cabbage briefly helps soften it and enhances its color, but you can skip this step if you prefer a crunchier texture.

  4. What can I add for extra flavor?

    You can add thinly sliced carrots, raisins, or even nuts for a modern twist and extra flavor.

  5. Can I make the dressing ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
