Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely shred the cabbage using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Measure out 4 cups and place in a large mixing bowl.
- Thinly slice the cucumber. Measure out 2 cups and add to the bowl with the cabbage.
- Finely chop the onion. Measure out 4 tablespoons and add to the bowl with the cabbage and cucumber.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 4 tablespoons of vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Whisk together until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the mixed vegetables.
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to taste.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until the cabbage, cucumber, and onion are evenly coated with the dressing.
5. Chill (Optional):
- For a more refreshing salad, cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Give the salad a final toss before serving.
- Transfer to a serving dish or serve directly from the mixing bowl.
Tips:
- For extra crunch and a vibrant color contrast, consider adding some shredded carrots.
- Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Adjust the quantities of salt and pepper to taste, and feel free to add more lemon juice or vinegar if you prefer a tangier flavor.
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniformly thin slices of cabbage and cucumber.
- For added protein, toss in some chickpeas or grilled chicken strips.
Enjoy this simple yet delightful Cabbage Cucumber Salad as a fresh addition to any meal. It's quick to prepare and packs a punch with its zesty dressing, ensuring a bright, crunchy bite with every forkful.
