Red Cabbage Salad

(Mor Lahana Salatasi)

1/2 head of red cabbage
1 tbsp salt

Dressing:
50 ml extra virgin olive oil
Juice of half lemon
1 tsp salt
Pepper

Remove and throw away the white center of the cabbage. Cut it in thin slices (julienne cut) on a wooden board. Put into a large bowl. Sprinkle 1 tbsp salt all over and squeeze the cabbage pieces with your hand. Put aside for at least half an hour. This way the cabbage will soften and won't be bitter.

Rinse, drain and place in a serving dish. Pour the dressing on top and mix well. This salad will taste even better if you let it rest for another half hour.
