Cabbage Salad

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Simple garlic toasted croutons garnished over crispy cabbage strips is a lovely at home intro salad. Cabbage by itself is an excellent source of Vitamin C and constitutes as a low calorie food. It's easy to prepare and very healthy. Toss and content the salads by making healthy choices.

Ingredients
(((((((((((
Olive Oil                 4 tbsps.
Pepper                    to sprinkle
Garlic Cloves             3
Salt                      to taste
Wheat Bread               8
Mozzarella Cheese Sticks  2
Cabbage                   1/2 
Lime                      1

Method

  • Crush the garlic cloves. Remove the crusts of the bread and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Grate the mozzarella cheese into thin long strips. Slice the cabbage thinly and rinse properly. Squeeze lime juice in a small bowl. Keep all of these aside.
  • Heat 3 tbsps. olive oil in a skillet and add crushed garlic. Add bread cubes and cook, stirring frequently for 5 mins. Toss until the bread cubes are crispy and golden all over. Remove garlic toasted croutons from the skillet and drain on paper towel.
  • In a mixing bowl, take the remaining olive oil, lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Combine well. Keep this dressing aside.
  • In a salad bowl, arrange rinsed crispy cabbage strips and pour the dressing over it and toss well. Add croutons  and toss the salad again. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese shavings.
  • Leave the salad covered for an hour before serving as the cabbage strips tend to become little moist.
  • After an hour serve Cabbage Salad for supper.
Note:
  • If the salad is served immediately when it's prepared, cabbage tends to be very crunchy. To get a better taste and to have a little soft, little crunchy content let the salad sit covered for an hour. Healthy Cabbage Salad makes a filling meal.
