Cabbage Salad
Description
The salad combines finely sliced white and red cabbage layers with grated carrots and apple slices that are soaked briefly in lemon water to preserve color and prevent browning. A dressing made from extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and seasoning is whisked together to coat the vegetables evenly, imparting a bright, slightly sweet and tangy profile to the crisp vegetables.
Optional garnishes of chopped scallions, parsley, and mixed seeds add freshness and a mild crunch. The overall texture is crisp and juicy, highlighting the freshness of the ingredients. This salad works well as a side dish adding color and crunch to a meal and benefits from brief chilling before serving to meld flavors.
It offers versatility as a light accompaniment or can be part of a casual meal, with its balance of acidity and subtle sweetness complementing richer mains.
