Steps
Steps
- 1Remove the outer leaves and the core and shred the cabbage as finely as you can with a sharp knife or a cabbage slicer — thin strands are half the dish.
- 2Put the cabbage in a large bowl, sprinkle with the salt and squeeze and rub it with your hands for 2–3 minutes, until it softens, darkens slightly and releases its juice. This is what makes the salad tender rather than raw and stiff.
- 3Add the grated carrots and the vinegar, toss and leave for 10 minutes so the cabbage absorbs the dressing.
- 4Pour over the oil, add the dill, taste for salt and vinegar and serve. It keeps well in the fridge for a day.
