Preparation

Very thinly slice the white cabbage with a knife or mandoline, and grate the carrot.
In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, oil and a pinch of chili (and salt) to make the dressing: taste it, it should be quite tangy.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot, mix well by hand, lightly massaging the cabbage so it starts to soften.
Let it rest 15-20 minutes in the fridge before serving, so the cabbage softens and soaks up the flavours: this crisp, tangy salad is a perfect match for simmered rice dishes.
