Preparation
Step 1
Prepare all the vegetables. If available, use young cabbage with tender, juicy leaves.
Step 2
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Rinse and dry it well, then shred into thin strips and place in a large bowl.
Step 3
Rinse the bell pepper, cut it in half and remove the seeds and core. For a more colorful salad, you can use peppers of different colors. Cut the pepper into thin half-rings or strips and add to the cabbage.
Step 4
Rinse and dry the tomatoes. Cut them into small wedges or large cubes and add to the salad bowl. Cherry tomatoes can also be used.
Step 5
Peel the onion and slice it thinly. Shallots, white salad onions or red onions all work well.
Step 6
For the dressing, combine the olive oil with the juice of half a lemon in a small bowl. If desired, add a pinch of ground paprika or other seasonings and mix well.
Step 7
Sprinkle the salad with finely chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill or green onions. Season with salt to taste and pour over the dressing.
Step 8
Mix everything thoroughly and leave the salad to stand for 5–10 minutes. Stir once more, garnish with a few sprigs of parsley or dill and serve.
