Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup shredded napa cabbage
1 cup shredded red cabbage
2 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
2 cups kohlrabi matchsticks
2 cups Granny Smith (or other green apple) matchsticks
⅓ cup minced fresh parsley, plus ¼ cup whole leaves
¼ cup fresh lime juice
⅓ cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon shoyu
1 teaspoon coconut palm sugar
½ cup safflower oil
Freshly ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the cabbages in a large bowl. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the kosher salt. With clean hands, massage the cabbage until soft and wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer the cabbage to a colander set in the sink and rinse the bowl. Put a plate on top of the cabbage and weight it (a 28-ounce can of tomatoes works well for this). Let sit for 1 hour. Rinse the cabbage in cold water and let drain for 20 minutes. Wipe the bowl with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Return the cabbage to the bowl and add the kohlrabi, apples, and minced parsley. Toss well to combine. Set aside.
  • In a blender, combine the lime juice, vinegar, shoyu, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt. With the blender running, slowly pour in the safflower oil through the hole in the lid and blend until emulsified. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
  • Pour enough of the dressing over the salad to lightly coat, toss, and garnish with the parsley leaves, then serve.
