Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 1/2 cups packed shredded green cabbage
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 English cucumber (or 2 small cucumbers), sliced
  • 1/2 medium red onion, sliced

Herbs

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

Dressing

  • 5 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Shred the cabbage: Finely shred the green cabbage into thin strips to create a crisp base for the salad.
  2. Slice the cucumber: Cut the English cucumber in half lengthwise, then slice into thin pieces to add freshness and crunch.
  3. Slice the tomatoes: Slice the tomatoes into thin, even slices to distribute their juicy sweetness throughout the salad.
  4. Slice the red onion: Cut the red onion very thin to balance the salad with a mild pungency without overpowering it.
  5. Chop the herbs: Finely chop the fresh cilantro and dill to infuse the salad with bright, herbaceous flavors.
  6. Prepare the dressing and combine: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar. Pour this dressing over the vegetables and herbs in a large bowl.
  7. Season and mix: Add salt and pepper to taste, then gently toss all ingredients together until evenly coated with the dressing.
  8. Serve immediately: For the freshest texture and vibrant flavors, serve the salad right after mixing. Enjoy the crisp and refreshing taste!

Notes

  • For extra tang, substitute vinegar with lemon juice.
  • Use red or white wine vinegar for a subtle flavor variation.
  • Chilling the salad briefly before serving can enhance the crunchiness.
  • Optional: Add toasted nuts or seeds for additional texture.
  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh and does not hold well for long storage as the cabbage softens.
