Description
A creamy and refreshing cabbage salad perfect for summer picnics, combining crunchy cabbage, tangy yogurt, and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 cup plain full-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill or mint, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the cabbage: Start by slicing the cabbage thinly. Aim for uniform strips for even texture. If you like it a bit softer, massage the cabbage gently with a pinch of salt for a few minutes.
- Mix the dressing: In a bowl, combine yogurt, a splash of lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until creamy. Taste and adjust as necessary.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sliced cabbage and fresh herbs. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and toss until every leaf is coated lovingly.
- Let it marinate: Allow the salad to sit for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. This helps the flavors meld beautifully. It can even be made a day ahead—just keep it covered in the refrigerator.
- Serve: Before serving, stir the salad gently to recoat the cabbage in dressing. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra herbs, and enjoy!
Notes
For added sweetness, consider including diced apples or carrots. Fresh herbs truly elevate the flavor, so don’t skip them.
