Red Cabbage Salad with Apple
Description
This salad uses finely chopped red cabbage as a crunchy base combined with well-drained sauerkraut to add tang and moisture control. Thinly sliced cucumber and tart Granny Smith apple contribute fresh crispness and subtle sweetness. Chopped green onions and dill herb add a mild sharpness and fragrant herbal layer.
The dressing is a simple mixture of extra virgin olive oil and white vinegar, lightly seasoning the ingredients along with sea salt to taste. Tossing the salad thoroughly blends the flavors, with option to adjust salt and vinegar before serving for preferred sharpness and seasoning.
This salad serves well as a vibrant side dish accompanying main courses, offering bright colors and contrasting textures. The inclusion of sauerkraut adds probiotic benefits and a satisfying acidity that complements the sweeter apple and mild herbs.
As noted, adding salt just before serving helps prevent cucumbers from wilting too early, preserving their crisp texture in the finished salad.
