- Knead the cabbage briefly with your hand, transfer it to a colander, and wipe the bowl clean to remove the moisture and extra salt.
- Squeeze cabbage: Take handfuls of the cabbage and squeeze them in your hand to release the extra moisture. Return the cabbage to the bowl.
- Dress cabbage salad: Add the oil, vinegar, and some freshly ground black pepper. Stir well until the cabbage salad starts to glisten. Taste and adjust (if necessary) with more salt, pepper, vinegar, and oil. It should taste rather sour and salty. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley.2 tablespoons vegetable oil + 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar + freshly ground black pepper + 1 small bunch of parsley
- Store cabbage salad, covered, in the refrigerator. It will keep well for several days.
Notes
- Cabbage: You can also make this salad with green or sweetheart cabbage.
- Oil: It is preferable to use a mild-tasting sunflower oil or canola oil. Don't use olive oil for this salad.
