Cabbage and cottage cheese salad

Cabbage and cottage cheese salad with a refreshing lemon, parsley, and mayonnaise dressing is a nutritious and delicious option for a light meal or a side dish. Combining the crunchy texture of cabbage, the creamy taste of low-fat cottage cheese, and the zesty flavors from lemon juice and parsley, this salad is both satisfying and wholesome.

Ingredients:

1 tsp lemon juice
5g
1 onion
110g
1 cabbage
900g
2 cups lowfat cottage cheese
450g
2 tbsp dried parsley
0.80g
2.50 tbsp mayonnaise salad dressing
36g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1.05g
1 tsp salt
6g

Instructions:

1. Shred the Cabbage:
- Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage.
- Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and finely shred the quarters using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
2. Mix the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, mayonnaise salad dressing, dried parsley, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, chopped onion, and low-fat cottage cheese.
4. Add the Dressing:
- Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture.
- Use a large spoon or salad tongs to mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring that the dressing coats the cabbage and cottage cheese evenly.
5. Refrigerate:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. For the best taste, you can refrigerate the salad for up to a few hours before serving.
6. Serve:
- Give the salad a good stir before serving to redistribute any dressing that may have settled at the bottom.
- Serve chilled as a side dish or a light main course.

Tips:

- Shredding the cabbage finely will help the salad absorb the dressing better and give a more even texture.

- Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes after mixing to allow the flavors to meld together.

- For added crunch, consider adding some chopped nuts or seeds such as sunflower seeds or almonds.

- Feel free to garnish with some fresh parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor and visual appeal.
