👨‍🍳 Method

For the Salad Dressing

1. 1
   In a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, sugar, mustard and black pepper until smooth.

   💡Mustard binds the oil with the rest of the dressing, so it doesn't separate quickly. Whisk just before pouring.

To assemble

1. 2
   Slice the cabbage into very thin strips.

   💡Resting in the dressing improves the salad: the vegetables absorb the flavor, and hard vegetables (cabbage, carrot) also soften a little.
