Preparation
Step 1
Remove the outer 2-3 leaves from the cabbage. Rinse the cucumber to remove any dirt. Peel the carrot and rinse it.
Step 2
Finely shred the fresh cabbage with a sharp knife and lightly squeeze it with your hands. This makes the cabbage softer and juicier in the salad.
Step 3
Transfer the shredded cabbage to a bowl where you will prepare the salad. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and slice it into half-moons. If the cucumber is large, first cut it lengthwise into 4 parts. Add the sliced cucumber to the cabbage.
Step 4
Grate the peeled carrot on a coarse grater and add it to the bowl with the salad.
Step 5
Dress all the ingredients with a little vegetable oil and lemon juice.
Step 6
Add salt and sugar to taste. I like this salad with a light sweetness, so I add a bit more sugar than salt. You can also add some salad seasoning or ground pepper - adjust to your own taste.
Step 7
Mix all the ingredients so the dressing is evenly distributed over the vegetables. If you like, add some chopped fresh herbs. Transfer the finished salad to a serving bowl and serve. It is an excellent side dish for meat dishes, especially grilled meat. Enjoy!
