SALATA DE VARZA ROSIE

Salata De Varza Rosie is a simple and yet flavourful Romanian Red Cabbage Salad. Easy to make, basically you need only a handful of ingredients. Some red cabbage or white (then it is simply called Salata De Varza), carrot, vinegar, salt and oil.

📝 Ingredients

• 1/4 red cabbage (approx. 280g)
• 1 medium carrot (approx. 80g)
• 1 medium apple
• 3 tbsp apple cider | white wine vinegar
• 3 tbsp oil (any of your choice)
• 1/2-3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
• 1 tsp dried dill (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Using a mandoline or sharp knife, shred the red cabbage. Make sure you remove the other dry or limp leaves.
2. 2Add the salt to the shredded cabbage. Massage cabbage with your hand for about 2-3 minutes. This will help to soften the cabbage a bit.
3. 3Allow the cabbage to rest for about 10 minutes.
4. 4In the meantime peel and grate the carrot. I used a box grater.
5. 5Also cut the apple into half and core it. Grate the apple with or without the peel.
6. 6Mix the grated carrot and apple. Add and mix the vinegar so that the apple does not turn brown.
7. 7Add the apple carrot mixture to the shredded cabbage.
8. 8Add oil, dried dill and freshly cracked black pepper.
9. 9Mix the salad well. Cover and allow the salad ingredients to meld in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
10. 10Serve the salad as a side with any dish of your choice.
