Ingredients:

1 small white cabbage, finely shredded (a chiffonade)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp cider vinegar
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

Break the shredded cabbage up into a large bowl and season liberally with salt (add plenty of salt, as this will help dry out the cabbage). Toss to mix thoroughly, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. After this time drain away any excess liquid then place the cabbage in a cloth and squeeze to remove any liquid from it. Transfer to a serving bowl and dress with the olive oil, vinegar and black pepper.

Toss to combine and serve as a side dish for fatty meats or roasts.
