Ingredients:

4 cups cabbage
360g
4 cucumbers
1200g
4 tbsp onion
40g
3 tsp olive oil
14g
9 tsp vinegar
44g
3 tsp lemon juice
16g
0.06 dash salt
0.02g
0.06 dash black pepper

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- 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.
- Onion: Finely chop the onion. Add the chopped onion to the bowl with the other vegetables.
2. Make the Dressing:
- 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.
3. Assemble the Salad:
- 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.
4. Serve:
- 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.

There you have it, a simple yet delightful Crisp Cabbage and Cucumber Salad. The blend of fresh vegetables with the tangy dressing creates a perfect balance of flavors and textures. This salad is not only quick to assemble but also a healthy addition to any meal. Enjoy your fresh creation!
