Cabbage Salad

So we can´t stop eating cabbage salad here. We ate alot of it back home as well but we´ve learned a different way to make it here. It´s really simple so if you were brave enough to make the empanadas then this should be a piece of cake! And we promise you that lack of difficulty does NOT mean lack of delicousness because this salad is sooo good!

Ingredients:
(We´ve never actually measured our ingredients so we´re guessing. Use your judgement and taste buds to get it just right)
  • 1/2 a head of white cabbage (red cabbage does not work nearly as well)
  • 2 tblsp of salt
  • 1/4-1/2 bunch Cilantro
  • Juice from 2-3 lemons
  • 1/4 cup Oil

Directions:

  • Thinly slice cabbage and put in a bowl
  • Dice cilantro and add to cabbage
  • Add salt, lemon juice and oil
  • Mix well
  • Best if left to marinate in lemon juice for a bit
  • Eat!

See how easy that was?! The trick we learned was to use white cabbage which has a milder flavor than red cabbage and soaks up the lemon juice much better.
