Politiki Salad
This is a traditional seasonal (winter) salad with origins from Constantinople (now Istanbul), thus the title.
- 2 bell peppers
- 6 carrots
- 0,5 white cabbage
- 1 branch celery
- sea salt
- vinegar
- water
- olive oil
- In a bowl, add a layer of cabbage, then add some bell pepper, carrot and celery. Mix and repeat with a second layer. When you have added all the vegetables, drop some salt and vinegar (around 80ml for 2 kg of vegetables). Then, add drinkable water to cover 25% of the bowl (1 big glass of water in this case).
- Let it stay in the refrigerator for a few hours and then you may serve the salad (a portion). It is fine to serve it immediately with some olive oil but it tastes better if it stays in the refrigarator for a day or more. Because of the salt and vinegar, this salad can last a week. Make sure that you stir the salad in the bowl so that the liquid goes around the vegetables.
