# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of sweet sun-dried tomatoes and fresh herbs transforms humble cabbage into something extraordinary
  • It gets better as it sits, so you can make it ahead and it still tastes fresh hours later
02 -
  • The cabbage needs those 10 minutes of resting time to soften and absorb the flavors, otherwise it will taste too raw and sharp
  • Slice your cabbage as thin as possible, almost translucent, for the best texture
03 -
  • Use a mandoline or the slicing disc of your food processor to get perfectly thin cabbage slices quickly and safely
  • Massage the cabbage gently with a little salt before dressing if you prefer it even more tender
