Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Kitchen Knife
  • Mandoline Slicer (optional)
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small green cabbage (about 2½ pounds, shredded)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4-5 small cucumbers (or 1 English cucumber)
  • 1 medium carrot (grated)
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 handful dill (about ½ cup chopped)
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Place the shredded cabbage in a large bowl. Add the sugar and salt.
  • Massage the cabbage with your hands for about 1 minute, until it begins releasing its juices and softens.
  • Add the remaining ingredients — cucumber, carrot, onion, dill, white vinegar, and olive oil. Toss everything together until well combined.
  • Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

Consider adding red onion, bell pepper, or chickpeas for variations. Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Freezing not recommended.
