Ingredients:
- 1/2 head of red cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup of pickles, sliced into thin strips
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of honey or a sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh dill, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables: Start by finely shredding the red cabbage and slicing the pickles and red onion into thin strips. The finer the shred, the better it will meld with the dressing and other components.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and honey or sugar substitute until well combined. Add the mustard seeds, and season with salt and pepper to taste. This dressing will bring all the flavors together and add a delightful zing to the salad.
- Combine and Toss: In a large bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, sliced pickles, and red onion. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
- Chill and Serve: Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Just before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh dill over the top for an extra layer of flavor and a touch of freshness.
