A fast, no-cook variation on the classic coleslaw, originally a Dutch term that meant, surprisingly, “cabbage salad.” Cabbage, either raw or cooked, has been proven to lower cholesterol. Replacing mayonnaise or buttermilk with oil and lemon juice makes for a much lighter, almost pickled mixture, and the taste of fresh mint lightens and lifts the entire dish. Chopping and mixing begin and end the labor. For a special treat try adding apples, cranberries or chopped nuts.
