Ready in 10 minutes: the crunchy salad that saves your dinner

Cabbage salad is the perfect addition to your repertoire: fresh, colorful, and ready in a flash. It's the perfect example of how quick and healthy side dishes can also be incredibly delicious, thanks to thinly sliced ​​vegetables and a creamy dressing that ties everything together perfectly.

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • Cabbage ½
  • Carrots 2
  • 1 stalk of celery
  • Mayonnaise 120g
  • Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon
  • Parsley 1 sprig
  • Sale
  • Black pepper
Method · 10 min
  1. Clean and wash the cabbage thoroughly, then slice it into thin strips and place them directly in a large salad bowl. Clean the carrots and celery, cut them both into julienne strips (thin sticks), and add them to the cabbage in the salad bowl.
  2. Take the spring onion, slice it very thinly, and add it to the other vegetables. Season everything with chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkling of pepper, then mix the vegetables well.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise with a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce; use the resulting cream to dress the salad. Serve your salad directly from the bowl or arrange it on a serving platter for a more elegant presentation.

In the vast world of easy side dishes, salads play a key role. If you love one-pot meals, you could alternate this version with a hearty Farro Salad with Mushrooms and Vegetables or a rich Potato Salad with Arugula Pesto. To keep with the flavors of the garden, the Eggplant Salad is excellent in summer, while in winter, the Artichoke Salad, the colorful Orange Salad, or the sweet Beetroot Salad triumph.

During the holidays, the traditional "I nsalata di rinforzo" is a must, but for a fresh and summery international touch, the classic Greek salad is always a winning choice. However, the simplicity of cabbage dressed this way has an inimitable rustic charm.
