Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 large Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by removing the outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into shreds using a sharp knife or mandoline.
Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater or food processor with a grating attachment.
Finely chop the fresh dill and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped dill.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the white vinegar, sunflower oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly to coat the vegetables evenly.
Allow the coleslaw to sit for 10–15 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a little more vinegar for tang, or sugar for sweetness, as desired.
Serve immediately as a fresh side dish, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours for an even deeper flavor.
