140 minutes
Cabbage salad with peanuts and mint is an embodiment of French culinary sophistication, combining freshness, spiciness, and textural variety. White cabbage, lightly pickled in wine vinegar, gains a subtle tang that perfectly complements the crunchy pieces of roasted peanuts. Mint leaves add freshness and an exquisite aromatic note, while coarsely chopped olives contribute a slight saltiness to the flavor palette. The dressing made from peanut oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper binds the ingredients together, giving the dish a delicate nutty creaminess. This salad is perfect as a standalone dish for a light lunch or an elegant accompaniment to meat and fish dishes. Its rich flavor and unusual combination of ingredients make it special and memorable.
