Simple White Cabbage Salad- Romanian Recipe
Description
The Simple White Cabbage Salad from Romania begins with thinly sliced white cabbage soaked in salt to soften and release excess water. After briefly kneading and draining, the cabbage is squeezed to remove remaining moisture, creating a crisp yet tender base. The salad is dressed with a balance of mild vegetable oil and white wine vinegar, seasoned with freshly ground black pepper, and garnished with chopped parsley for freshness.
This preparation creates a vibrant salad with a pleasing sour-salty flavor profile and a slight crunch from the cabbage texture. It complements meals well, particularly hearty or fried dishes needing a bright counterpoint.
The salad can be kept refrigerated for several days when covered, allowing flavors to meld further. The texture remains crisp as long as moisture is properly drained during preparation.
Ingredients
- 500 white cabbage
- ½ teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil preferably a mild-tasting sunflower oil, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1 parsley small bunch
Instructions
- Slice the white cabbage as finely as possible. Place it in a bowl, mix it well with the salt and leave for half an hour.
- Knead the cabbage shortly with your hand, transfer it to a colander, and wipe the bowl clean to remove the moisture and extra salt.
- Take handfuls of the cabbage and squeeze them in your hand to release the extra moisture. Return the cabbage to the bowl.
- Add the oil and the vinegar and some freshly ground black pepper. Stir well, until the cabbage salad starts to glisten. Taste and adjust (if necessary) with more salt, pepper, vinegar, and oil. It should taste rather sour and salty. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
- It will keep well for several days in the fridge. Covered, of course.
