Description
The classic tangy side dish found in every Swedish pizzeria, this vibrant salad features thinly sliced green cabbage tossed in a zesty oil and vinegar dressing infused with savory oregano. It’s incredibly refreshing and the perfect accompaniment to your favorite pizza.
Ingredients
1/2 head (350g) green cabbage, thinly sliced
1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
3 tablespoons (45ml) white vinegar
1 tablespoon (15ml) water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Place the thinly sliced green cabbage in a large bowl, spreading it out evenly.
- In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid (or a separate bowl), combine the vegetable oil, white vinegar, water, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
- Shake the jar vigorously or whisk the mixture until the dressing is well combined and emulsified.
- Pour the prepared dressing evenly over the cabbage.
- Using clean hands or a sturdy spoon, massage the dressing into the cabbage for at least 2 minutes to soften it and help it absorb the flavors.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- For the best flavor, let the salad chill for a few hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Notes
This salad tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had more time to meld and the cabbage has further softened.
Ensure the cabbage is sliced as thin as possible using a sharp knife or mandoline for the best tender-crisp texture.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste after the salad has chilled.
