Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 small cabbage (about 1 1/4 pounds)
4 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped fine (1 tablespoon)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon mustard, preferably Dijon-style
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil, preferably virgin
1/4 cup shredded fresh basil leaves

Steps:

Cut the cabbage in half and remove the center rib. Shred as you would for coleslaw. You should have about 6 to 7 cups of lightly packed cabbage.
For the dressing, combine the garlic, salt, pepper, mustard, vinegar and olive oil in a bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add the cabbage and stir. Just before serving, sprinkle the basil on top. The salad will develop more taste if made a few hours ahead.
