Shaved Cabbage Salad with Parmesan & Aged Balsamic

A 4-ingredient shaved cabbage and Parmesan salad with olive oil and aged balsamic. No cooking, and the perfect side for pasta or roast meats.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 as a side

Ingredients

  • 1/2 white or Savoy cabbage
  • 1/4-1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4.5 oz Parmigiano Reggiano 125g, finely grated
  • aged balsamic vinegar (preferably 8+ years old) to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Discard the outer leaves of the cabbage, then shave it as finely as you can with a sharp knife or mandoline, discarding any thick ribs as you go.

  2. Place in a large bowl, drizzle over 1/4 cup oil and toss. If the salad seems a little dry, toss through some more oil. Allow to stand for at least 15 minutes, or up to a couple of hours.

  3. Toss through the cheese and season with salt and pepper.

  4. Arrange on a serving platter or in a salad bowl and drizzle over a sparing amount of balsamic.
