Remove the outer leaves and the stalk from the pointed cabbage. Quarter the cabbage and cut into fine strips, mix with 1 teaspoon salt and knead lightly.
Toast the cumin in a pan without fat. Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. If necessary, core the dates and cut into fine rings.
Add all other ingredients to the cabbage and mix together. Let the salad steep a little before serving.
The salad tastes great with burgers, schnitzel or meatballs.
