Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced cabbage, cucumber, red onion, and fresh dill. Toss to mix the ingredients evenly.
- To prepare the dressing, in a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Gradually pour the dressing over the cabbage and cucumber mixture, tossing consistently to ensure all the ingredients are well coated.
- Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the salad to absorb the dressing and the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, give the salad another good toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Tips
- For an extra touch of sweetness, add a thinly sliced apple to the salad.
- If you prefer a more creamy salad, you can add a dollop of Greek yogurt to the dressing.
