Ingredients

Salad Ingredients:

  • 1 medium green cabbage 2 lbs, finely shredded
  • 3 medium cucumbers or 1 large English cucumber thinly sliced
  • 4-5 green onions finely chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh dill about 2 tablespoons, chopped

Dressing Ingredients:

  • 6 tablespoons sunflower oil
  • 4 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Dressing:

  • In a small measuring cup, whisk together the sunflower oil, distilled white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and set aside to allow the salt to dissolve completely.

Prepare the Vegetables:

  • Rinse all vegetables thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove and discard any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Using a sharp knife or a mandolin slicer, finely shred the cabbage into thin, delicate strips. Discard the core or save it for another use. Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds, cutting them in half if they are larger in size. Finely chop the green onions and fresh dill for a burst of color and flavor.

Assemble the Salad:

  • Place the shredded cabbage, sliced cucumbers, green onions, and dill into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the vegetables, tossing thoroughly to ensure everything is well coated.

Chill and Serve:

  • Serve the salad immediately for a crisp, refreshing bite, or refrigerate for a couple of hours to allow the cabbage to soften and absorb the flavors. Stored in an airtight container, this salad remains fresh and flavorful for up to 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
