Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cabbage: Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Finely shred the cabbage using a knife or a mandolin slicer. Place the shredded cabbage into a large mixing bowl.
- Cucumbers: Rinse and partially peel the cucumbers, leaving alternating strips of skin for texture. Thinly slice the cucumbers and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.

- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, a small pinch of salt, and a small pinch of black pepper.
- Whisk the ingredients together until the dressing is well mixed.
- Pour the dressing over the bowl of vegetables. Use salad tongs or two large spoons to gently toss the salad, ensuring that the dressing is evenly distributed throughout.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates.
- Enjoy immediately, or for a more enhanced flavor, cover and let it sit in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Make sure to thinly slice the cabbage and cucumbers for a more delicate texture.
- For extra flavor, allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving.
- Feel free to add other fresh veggies like bell peppers or radishes for added crunch and color.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste; you might want a bit more salt or pepper.
- If you prefer a stronger onion flavor, increase the amount of onion used.
