Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage.
It is easier now to cut the cabbage into quarters to cut away the core.
Slice the cabbage very, very thinly.
Sprinkle with salt and leave for about an hour, but up to four is better.
Drain, press out as much liquid as you can, and dry with paper towels or a clean tea cloth. Now, when your salad sits in the fridge with the dressing, it will not end up swimming in juice.
Add chives or onions and mix.
How To Make Vinaigrette à La Moutarde
Put the salt into a bowl together with a little black pepper.
Stir in the vinegar and continue until the salt has dissolved – this is because salt will not dissolve in oil.
Stir in the mustard.
Now add the oil, a little at a time, beating continuously until the dressing is cloudy.
Allow to stand for about 10 minutes, then stir or shake again just before use.
Mix the herbs and the dressing together.
Pour over the cabbage, mix well.
Leave for about an hour before serving.
Garnish with sliced radish.
This is so simple to make but will look stunning on your table.
Notes
It is not necessary to salt the salad if you are not letting it sit for more than an hour before consuming.
Finely slicing the cabbage evenly is important for consistency and can be done well with a mandoline.
