This is my mother’s recipe, something she used to make often back home and one of those days she surprised us making this salad to serve with dinner… I must admit I completely forgot how beautiful and bright in colour this salad was.

INGREDIENTS

• ½ head large red cabbage (shredded)
• ½ lemon juice
• 2 – 3 apples, more if small (grated)
• 1 small onion (chopped finely)
• 2 – 3 tbs olive oil
• fine sugar – to taste
• salt – to taste

EQUIPMENT

• medium pot
• strainer
• mixing bowl

METHOD

1. Bring pot of water to boil, add cabbage and continue heating until water is boiling again.
2. Cook 1 minute longer, strain the cabbage, cool down a bit and place in a mixing bowl.
3. Add lemon juice to bring back the colour, grated apples and onion.
4. Season to taste with salt and sugar, mix well and place in the fridge to chill a bit before serving.

Makes 4 – 5 servings.
