Tips & Tricks
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into quarters.
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.
Boil the purple cabbage just a little. You can add a tablespoon of lemon juice to ensure the purple cabbage retains its vibrant color.
Cut the white cabbage in the same way and wash it in a colander. Leave it raw for this salad.
If desired, you can add thinly sliced carrots and raisins for a different and modern twist on this cabbage salad.
