Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup dried mint
1 medium head of cabbage (about 1 1/2 lb.), halved, very thinly sliced
2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more

Steps:

  • Combine lemon juice and mint in a large bowl. Add cabbage and 2 tsp. salt.
  • Toss cabbage with your hands for a few minutes, squeezing to help soften (the lemon juice and salt will continue to tenderize it as it sits). Add 1/4 cup oil and toss again to coat. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
  • To serve, taste and season with more salt and drizzle with oil.
