Author Notes

This salad is so easy to make and so lightly delicious – fresh purple cabbage tossed with a good olive oil, some sea salt, apple cider vinegar and a little lemon. Make it an hour ahead or let it sit in the fridge overnight. The great thing about this salad is the longer it sits the better it gets! —coffeefoodwrite

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (from about 1 med. lemon)

Just 2 minutes to make for a quick lunch with the help of my mandoline (we had leftover Roasted Butternut Squash & Apple Soup made from ChezSusanne's recipe). My husband loved the salad & declared it his very favorite even though we ate it before it even had been a full hour in the fridge. Delicious, simple and fast!
