Cabbage and Bell Pepper Salad
Description
This Cabbage and Bell Pepper Salad is composed of finely sliced cabbage combined with small pieces of broccoli, thin strips of bell pepper, and chopped green onion. The vegetables provide a variety of textures from crunchy to tender, and a vivid mix of colors.
The dressing uses lemon juice for acidity, sunflower oil for a mild flavor, and a creamy base of mayonnaise and sour cream. Garlic powder and salt season the dressing lightly, while fresh dill and optional parsley add fresh herbal notes. The dressing is mixed and chilled before combining with the vegetables to ensure the flavors meld and the salad is evenly coated.
Served chilled, this salad offers a crisp and tangy flavor profile with creamy undertones, making it a versatile accompaniment to grilled meats, sandwiches, or as a light side for any meal.
