Whatever you call this classic Jewish deli salad, we can all agree it’s delicious and healthy.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6-8

Ingredients

  • 1 lb cabbage (about ½ a medium cabbage)
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1 red or green bell pepper
  • 1 medium Persian or Kirby cucumber
  • 46 small radishes
  • 2 tsp Diamond brand kosher salt, or more to taste
  • 3 Tbsp oil (avocado, sunflower or canola)
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp white distilled vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp sugar, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables by shredding the cabbage with a knife, mandolin or by using a food processor.  Peel and shred the carrots. Core and thinly slice the bell pepper. Halve or quarter the cucumber, remove the seeds, and slice. Thinly slice the radish into rounds or half-moons. Combine all of the shredded and sliced vegetables together in a large bowl. Season with salt, and toss until everything is coated. 
  2. For the dressing, whisk together the water, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar and sugar. Let the sugar dissolve for a few minutes, then whisk the oil into the vinegar mixture. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss the salad. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Taste prior to serving, season with more salt if necessary. 

Notes

The salad keeps for up to a week in the fridge but will soften more each day.
