Ingredients

  • 4 cups purple cabbage thinly sliced (about 300g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil about 30ml
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the thinly sliced purple cabbage.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the cabbage, then sprinkle the salt and Italian seasoning blend on top.
  • Toss everything together until the cabbage is well coated with the oil and seasonings. I recommend using your hands for this to ensure even distribution of the seasonings and lightly massage the cabbage.
  • Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly.
  • Give it another toss before serving. Enjoy your simple cabbage salad as a refreshing side dish or a crunchy topping for sandwiches and tacos!

Notes

What to Add?: Feel free to add other ingredients like shredded carrots, diced bell peppers, or chopped herbs for extra color and flavor. No matter what you add, this goes great with almost any meat dish, since it can add crunch and nutrition.
Prep Ahead: If you’re not eating low histamine, this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a good toss before serving again.
Enhancing Flavor: If you prefer a bit of sweetness, consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar or a drizzle of honey to balance the flavors. Enjoy!
