Description
A simple and refreshing cabbage salad made with whipped cream dressing, giving it a light, airy texture and a tangy, creamy flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head of cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup of heavy cream, whipped until fluffy
- 2 tbsp of mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by washing and drying the cabbage. Slice it very thinly or use a mandolin to achieve fine shreds. This texture is essential for creating a light, airy appearance that blends seamlessly with the whipped dressing.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. If you prefer a slightly richer flavor, you can fold in two tablespoons of mayonnaise at this stage. This adds a creamy touch without overpowering the lightness of the whipped cream.
- Gently fold in the white vinegar or lemon juice to add a tangy note, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to retain the airy texture of the whipped cream.
- Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl and pour the whipped cream dressing over it. Gently toss until all the cabbage is evenly coated. The light, whipped dressing should cling delicately to the cabbage without weighing it down.
- Transfer the cabbage salad to a decorative bowl for presentation. Sprinkle fresh chives or parsley on top if desired. The green garnish adds a lovely color contrast and enhances the fresh flavor of the salad.
- For an extra refreshing taste, refrigerate the salad for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soak up the dressing, making each bite even more delightful.
Notes
For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or garlic powder to the dressing
