Cabbage and Cucumber Salad

Servings: 2-3
Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/3 green cabbage, shredded
• 1/3 red cabbage, shredded
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (for each cabbage)
• 1-2 cucumbers, sliced thinly
• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 20g walnuts, roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the cabbages: In two separate bowls, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of salt over the green and red cabbage. Let them sit for about 5-10 minutes to soften and release some water.
2. Prepare the vegetables: While the cabbage is resting, thinly slice the cucumbers and onion. Shred the carrot using a grater.
3. Assemble the salad: Drain any excess water from the cabbage. In a large mixing bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, cucumbers, onion, and shredded carrot.
4. Season and dress: Add the rice vinegar to the salad and toss everything together. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt or vinegar to taste, if needed.
5. Add crunch: Top the salad with roughly chopped walnuts for added texture and a boost of healthy fats.
6. Serve: Enjoy this refreshing cabbage salad as a light dinner or side dish.

This salad is packed with fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats from the walnuts, making it a great choice for weight management.
