Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Rest time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

simple, nutty and fruity at the same time

Remove the stalk from the cleaned red cabbage, cut into very fine strips or use a coarse grater and first loosen/separate the strips in a salad bowl, then carefully toss together with the salt. Let the red cabbage soak in water for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, wash the spring onions, carrot and apple. Cut the spring onions into fine rings and coarsely grate the apple and carrot. Once the soaking time is over, add the spring onions, apple and carrot to the red cabbage and mix everything together. Now finely grate the walnuts directly over the salad. It’s okay if larger pieces fall off; it adds a bit of bite. Add the balsamic vinegar and oil. It’s better to use a little less at first, as the salad shouldn’t be drowned in it. I go by feel. Add the lemon juice and mix everything together carefully. Season the salad with a little sugar. You’ve got a delicious, refreshing side salad, e.g. E.g. as a main meal, for grilling, with some cheese as a wrap, in pita bread… etc.
