- Butter, to taste
- 2/3 Tbsp salt
Cabbage Rapa Dressing- 3 Tbsp olive oil

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather all the ingredients needed for your sandwich. Preparing fresh ingredients is the start of a delicious meal!
Step 2
Wash the cabbage and red cabbage thoroughly under running water and pat them dry. Carefully remove the tough inner core as it can affect the texture. Then, shred the remaining parts as thinly as possible. The thinner you slice, the smoother and more pleasant the rapa will be.
Step 3
Melt a little butter in a pan over low heat. Place the bread slices in the pan and toast them on both sides until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. A lightly toasted bread adds a wonderful texture to your sandwich.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced cabbage and red cabbage. Sprinkle 2/3 Tbsp of salt over them and gently mix. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the cabbage to soften and release some moisture. Once the cabbage has wilted, squeeze out as much liquid as possible with your hands. This step is crucial to prevent a soggy sandwich.
Step 5
Return the squeezed cabbage to the bowl. Add the dressing ingredients: 3 Tbsp olive oil, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp honey, and 0.5 Tbsp Dijon whole grain mustard.
Step 6
Gently toss everything together until the cabbage is well coated with the dressing. Your delicious cabbage rapa is ready, featuring a refreshing lemon flavor, a hint of sweetness, and a pleasant tang from the mustard.
Step 7
Spread a thin layer of mustard sauce on one side of each toasted bread slice, according to your preference. Generously pile the fresh and crunchy cabbage rapa mixture on top of one slice. Don’t be shy – more rapa makes for a better sandwich!
Step 8
Finally, top with the other slice of bread. Your simple, healthy, and delicious cabbage rapa sandwich is complete! Enjoy the burst of fresh flavors in every bite.
