A vibrant salad that shows off quality, fresh ingredients so well. So Italian.
Inspired by a salad I first tasted at the Italian Fratelli Fresh restaurant when it opened in Potts Point, Sydney. It’s like a classy, Italian coleslaw.
Ingredients
- 5 simple ingredients: - cabbage, lemon, aged balsamic vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil and pecorino cheese.
- Buy the best aged balsamic vinegar you can as it is the star ingredient and worth every penny. It needs the depth of flavour it has, and you will use it on all your salads – a good one should be at least $60 to warn though.
- Plus, the other competing star ingredient would be the wonderful Italian, Pecorino hard cheese to top it all off. Can substitute with Parmigiano Reggiano.
- Really simple but wow.
- Serves 4. V. GF.

- 1 savoy cabbage or 2 baby savoy cabbages – halved and cored and thinly shaved on a mandolin or slowly with a sharp knife – as thin as possible
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 75ml extra-virgin olive oil
- 50g finely shaved or grated pecorino or top Italian parmesan
- 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar
Method
Place the shaved cabbage in a bowl large enough to toss with the lemon and extra-virgin olive oil, place on a serving dish - drizzle with the aged balsamic vinegar and scatter over the cheese.
