Step 1: Cut the cabbage in quarters, discard the outer leaves and trim off any thick, hard stems as well as the hard base.
Step 2: Lay each quarter in turn on its side and cut long, very thin slices until you reach the central core, which should be discarded. (NOTE: The key to a perfect cabbage salad is to shred the cabbage as finely as possible). Place the shredded cabbage in a bowl and stir in the black olives.
Step 3: Make the dressing by whisking the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, chopped parsley and salt together in a bowl until well blended. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and olives, and toss the salad until everything is evenly coated.
