Salad
Tip: Use a mandoline slicer to quickly shred cabbage into perfect, even strips. This tool allows you to save time compared to manually cutting with a knife, making your salad prep much faster and more consistent.
Tip: Instead of spending time manually chopping carrots into julienne strips, use a food processor with the appropriate attachment. This will create perfectly uniform carrot strips in seconds, making prep a breeze.
Tip: To add some crispy texture to your cabbage salad, use an air fryer to quickly fry up some chickpeas or croutons. Toss them in a bit of olive oil and seasoning, then air fry at 400°F for 5-7 minutes for a crunchy topping that will elevate your salad.
For the best texture and flavor, use fresh cabbage that is crisp and not wilted.
Shred the cabbage and carrots finely to create a crunchy and uniform texture that makes the salad more enjoyable to eat.
A light vinaigrette or lemon-based dressing works best to enhance the flavors without overpowering the salad.
Fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or cilantro can elevate the flavor of your salad and add a burst of freshness.
Consider adding crunchy toppings like sunflower seeds, toasted nuts, or crispy chickpeas to add texture and flavor contrast.
Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper. A small pinch of salt can bring out the natural sweetness of the carrots and cabbage.
