Cabbage and Carrots Salad with Oil
Cabbage and Carrots Salad
As you probably guessed already, this simple salad consists of two main ingredients: cabbage and carrots, dressed with oil (I take sunflower oil for this one), ground black pepper and celery seeds (both of which are optional), and salt.
It takes about 15 mins to prepare this salad. It can be served as a side dish or an appetizer. It also works good for a snack when you need to make something tasty fast.
Leftovers can be stored in fridge for a few days, salad doesn’t lose taste with time.
Ingredients:
- Small cabbage head or a part of it, about 1lb
- 2-3 carrots
- 1/3 cup of sunflower oil
- Celery seeds to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Salt to taste

Hi Julia,
Do you need to squeeze the cabbage after it sits few minutes (before adding shredded carrots)? I usually do but wanted to check with you since you have made this salad. It looks good and has all my favorite ingredients.
Thank you.
I usually squeeze it right after I salt it (at step 3), but it can also be done later on.
