Turkish Cabbage Salad - Beyaz Lahana Salatasi

1 head of white cabbage

4 small carrots, peeled and shredded (or use the

package carrots already shredded)

Sauce:

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 lemons, juice only (strain to elimiate seeds)

2 tbsp, and 2 tsp salt

Pepper

Remove and throw away the white centre of the cabbage.

Cut the cabbage in thin slices (julienne cut) on a

wooden board. Place into a large sieve. Sprinkle 2

tbsp salt all over and squeeze the cabbage pieces with

your hands.

 

Wash, drain and place on a service plate with the

carrots.

 

Combine remaining 2 t. salt with extra virgin olive

ChupaNote: I use about 1/4 t. red pepper flakes in the

dressing and sprinkle more over finished salad. I like

the color!) This makes a tart dressing. Use less lemon

juice if you don't like tart.
