Ingredients for Cabbage and Cucumber Salad:
1 white cabbage 1/2 red cabbage 1 English cucumber 1 bunch green onion 4 Tbsp sunflower oil 1.5 Tbsp vinegar 1.5 tsp salt
How to Make Cabbage and Cucumber Salad:
Wash all the vegetables. Using mandolin, thinly shred 1 white cabbage and 1/2 red cabbage and place them in a large bowl. (Alternate method for shredding is using a sharp knife to finely shred cabbage; it’s just more time consuming). Do protect your hands if using a mandolin. I’m sporting my new Trudeau Oven Gloves. They are very functional; unlike a regular oven mitt where you can’t bend your fingers. Oh wait, that’s my husbands hand there; I don’t have man hands, but the gloves fit us both.
Peel and julienne 1 English cucumber and finely dice green onion. Add both to the bowl.
In a small bowl, make your dressing by mixing 4 Tbsp sunflower oil, 1.5 Tbsp vinegar and 1.5 tsp salt. Stir it into the salad to taste. You may not need all of it depending on the size of your cabbages. Most people just drizzle in the dressing ingredients to-taste, but I’ve always considered that risky business.
This salad is best when served fresh, enjoy 😀
