This cabbage and cucumber salad is a staple salad in my family. It’s very simple and light. It pairs really well with barbecue food. But I honestly think it can pretty much go with any meal. This is a very common salad amongst Slavic people, therefore there are many different versions of it. My version is pretty basic. I love that the ingredients in this recipe are ingredients that most people usually have at all times. Not only is this salad simple to make, but it’s also very inexpensive.
Ingredients:
1 small cabbage
1 cucumber
4 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

I make this sometimes; it’s so simple!! It’s also good with a mayo/sour cream dressing 🙂

Do you happen to know what the nutritional info is for this dish?

Can you substitute balsamic vinegar for the white vinegar?
Hi Claire, you can use balsamic vinegar but it will taste a little different. Just make sure to use “white balsamic”. The red balsamic vinegar will give it an unappealing color.
I didn’t have green onion, but I added avocado and pepper, it was amazing! Fresh flavor, colorful salad! Thank you!
Yum, avocado sounds good! Thank you Caitlyn 🙂
