This is one of my favorite salads for fresh young cabbage – fast made slaw with eggs and cucumbers seasoned with fresh dill and mayo to taste.
Usually I take small white head cabbage or a half of it, however it will be the same good with red cabbage (the color will look interesting in this case too 🙂 ) or napa.
Don’t forget to cool down hard boiled eggs before adding them to the salad – it is not recommended to mix fresh vegetables with hot ingredients.
Ingredients:
½ of small white cabbage
2 eggs
½ of english cucumber or 2 baby cucumbers
Fresh dill
Mayonnaise
Salt to taste
How to prepare, step-by-step:
Prepare ingredients: boil eggs in advance and let the cool down, rinse dill and cucumber, clean cabbage of top leaves if needed:
