Steps

Prepare Vegetables

Halve the white cabbage, remove the core, then thinly slice or shred it. Peel and coarsely grate the carrots. Peel the red onion and slice it very thinly or finely chop it. Place all prepared vegetables in a large bowl.

Make the Dressing

In a smaller bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, sunflower oil, granulated sugar, salt, ground black pepper, and water. Mix until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary (e.g., more sugar or vinegar).

Combine and Rest

Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetables. Mix thoroughly to ensure every piece of cabbage is coated with the dressing. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but ideally 1-2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the cabbage to soften slightly. Stir again before serving.

Extra Tips

► Shred or thinly slice the cabbage for a crispier texture and better absorption of the dressing.

► Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

► Experiment with other vegetables like bell peppers or fresh parsley for added variety.
