Oh, I just bought a red cabbage and scratched the "turnip", but what to do with it.
"Tangerine", that's what - I'll go over the Internet.

found the chef's advice:

Small heads of cabbage.
The largest amount of nutrients is found in small heads of cabbage. That's why
try to get dense and small cabbage forks.

Correct shredder. Chefs recommend chopping the cabbage leaves as thin as possible.
This little trick will make a tough product much softer.

Grinding with salt.
To give the cabbage softness and eliminate bitterness, the chopped product must be salted,
and then rub it with your hands. The cabbage should let the juice go, along with which the bitterness will go.

Scalding with boiling water.
This is another method of making kale soft and bitter. Finely chopped product is necessary
pour over boiling water. Cover the cabbage and leave for 20 minutes. Then the water is drained using a colander.

Preservation of brightness.
Cabbage has the ability to color all food neighbors in a deep blue color.
At the same time, it itself can lose its brightness. To prevent this from happening, add vinegar when cooking,
pour in red wine or sprinkle the ingredients with lemon juice.

dominika, thank you for your interest in the recipe!

"Tangerine", that's what - I'll go over the Internet.

Tangerine is a type of mandarin. The taste is considered less sour and also sweeter and richer than orange. Therefore, if for some reason there is no desire to use freshly squeezed orange juice in cooking, tangerine juice will be a good substitute.
The amount of juice should be sufficient to combine all the ingredients of the salad, so that the cabbage and fruits do not remain dry, but are evenly saturated with the prepared sauce.

found the chef's advice:

This, of course, is good, but has little to do with this recipe. I wrote about slicing cabbage.
Tips to grind cabbage and salt and scald with boiling water may be good for other recipes, but not for this recipe salad, as this is where all the flavor and texture combinations of all ingredients are important. And a slight bitterness is beautifully set off by fruity notes, and the crisp texture of cabbage is combined with the textures of mandarin and Granny Smith apple. Therefore, it is so important not to replace the apple with another variety and not to change the cooking technology.
In general, so are the tips for preserving the color of the cabbage, since vinegar, red wine or lemon juice in this recipe replaces orange juice.

Oh, I just bought a red cabbage and scratched the "turnip", but what to do with it.

A good choice, considering that cabbage is filled with vitamins C, B and K, is rich in fiber and calcium in an easily digestible form, has 22 calories per 100 g, and due to its color it improves mood and invigorates, especially in the winter season. If in doubt about the recipe, try a small portion to appreciate the taste. I doubted because of the lack of the usual vegetable (olive) oil or sour cream (mayonnaise, yogurt) in the salad sauce, but I was interested in trying a new version and I can say that everyone who ate it liked the salad more than one prepared I will cook again and again, as I have added the recipe to our menu. However, everything is very individual, and in this version it also depends on the combination with the rest of the dishes on the table.

Easy, I would say playful salad. Bright, crunchy, vitamin.
I take it with gratitude. Thank you very much!
