Cabbage and cucumber slaw: The unexpected hit at every family meal

This dinner side dish will appeal even to vegetable-picky eaters. Even though the list of ingredients is short and simple, the final effect exceeds expectations. Cabbage slaw with a modest addition of lightly salted cucumbers is spot on. Even my mother-in-law asked for the recipe.

This crunchy and juicy slaw will win over your family's taste buds. You can serve it with pork chops, meatballs, or roast meat. It also works perfectly as an addition to potato pancakes and a vegetable ingredient in homemade tortillas. It has everything we love in slaws: lots of flavour, freshness, and aroma.

Cabbage slaws are very popular and come in so many variations that it's hard to keep track. However, if you're looking for something simple yet standing out from most similar slaws, add grated, lightly salted cucumbers to the cabbage. This is a beloved addition by many; combined in this way, it knocks everyone off their feet.

Ingredients:

• half a head of cabbage,
• 400 grams of lightly salted cucumbers,
• a bunch of spring onions, a small bunch of dill and parsley,
• 200 grams of tinned sweetcorn.

Sauce:

• 3 tablespoons of sour cream,
• 2 tablespoons of plain yoghurt,
• 1-2 teaspoons of mustard,
• lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste,

Preparation:

1. Grate the lightly salted cucumbers with a large-holed grater and place them in a sieve to remove excess liquid.
2. Chop the cabbage, drain the sweetcorn from the tin, and finely chop the herbs.
3. Place the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
4. Prepare the sauce by mixing the ingredients. Add the prepared sauce to the salad and mix well.
5. Serve immediately.
