Instructions: In a small bowl, mash the garlic and salt to a smooth paste with a pestle or the back of a spoon. Add the lemon juice. Then, with a whisk or large spoon, beat in the olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth. Place the cabbage in a salad bowl, and pour the garlic dressing over it.

Toss lightly with a spoon until the cabbage is evenly coated. Sprinkle the top with mint and with pomegranate seeds (if used) and serve at once.
