Cucumber Cabbage Salad is a refreshing and crunchy salad made with shredded cabbage, crisp English cucumbers, and fresh green onions, all tossed in a tangy vinegar-based dressing. This simple, light side dish is a favorite at gatherings and pairs perfectly with any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs cabbage (about 7 cups shredded)
3/4 English cucumber
4 sprigs green onions, sliced
1/4 cup sunflower oil
2 TBSP white distilled vinegar
1 tsp salt
2 TBSP fresh dill, chopped
2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Step: In a large bowl, shred the cabbage using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife.
Step: Trim the ends off the English cucumber, then cut it in half lengthwise and then in half again to create quartered strips; slice across these strips to form thin triangles.
Step: Combine the shredded cabbage, sliced cucumbers, and green onions in the large bowl.
Step: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sunflower oil, white distilled vinegar, salt, fresh dill, sugar, black pepper, and minced garlic.
Step: Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day; note that the cabbage will soften and wilt the longer it sits in the dressing. For maximum crunch, keep the dressing separate until ready to serve.
