Yummy Cabbage Salad 11 months ago

There’s this restaurant in Minneapolis that makes this yummy lime cilantro cabbage salad and I was hankering after it yesterday and thinking “I can figure out how they make that.”

So I did.
Here it is:
1 medium green cabbage
1 whole bunch of fresh Cilantro
1/2 c lime juice
1/2 c good olive oil
1 t salt
1/2 t black pepper
2 t sugar

Shred cabbage as finely as you can so it is like angel hair pasta. You really need a very sharp knife or a mandolin to do this. I did it in my food processor and it was not fine enough to quite get this salad I was aiming for but still tasty. Chop cilantro fine and mix into shredded cabbage.

Use a whisk to mix other ingredients in a separate bowl till the dressing is emulsified. Mix dressing into cabbage cilantro mix. Chill. Eat.

one could skip the sugar, I think

actually

no. I tasted the dressing without it and it was just a shade too sharply tart almost to the point of bitterness. Just that tiny amount of sugar got rid of that quality. Sort of weird huh?

Nice!

I have made something similar before (basically identical, but with hot chili added) but forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder; cabbage is on sale this week!
