Cabbage and Cucumber Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/3 head of cabbage (green or white)
• 1/3 head of red cabbage
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (for green cabbage)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (for cucumbers)
• 1-2 cucumbers
• 1/2 onion (red or white, finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
• 1 carrot (grated)
• 20g walnuts (roughly chopped)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cabbage:
   • Finely shred both the green and red cabbage. Place them in a large bowl.
   • Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of salt over the cabbage and gently massage the cabbage with your hands for about 1-2 minutes to soften it.
2. Prepare the Cucumbers:
   • Thinly slice the cucumbers. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and let them sit for 5-10 minutes. This helps draw out excess moisture.
   • After 10 minutes, drain the cucumbers and pat them dry with a paper towel.
3. Prepare the Carrot and Onion:
   • Grate the carrot and finely chop the onion.
   • Add both the carrot and onion to the bowl with the cabbage.
4. Add Cucumbers and Dressing:
   • Add the drained cucumber slices to the cabbage mixture.
   • Drizzle the salad with 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar.
5. Toss and Serve:
   • Gently toss all the ingredients together until well mixed.
   • Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top for added crunch and flavor.

Tips:

• You can add a little olive oil or sesame oil for extra richness.
• Serve immediately or let it chill for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

This fresh, crunchy salad is perfect for a light dinner and is great for anyone looking to eat healthy!
