Fresh Salad Ingredients- 400g fresh cabbage, thinly shredded
- 100g crisp carrot, thinly shredded
- 1 small sweet apple, cored and thinly shredded
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice (prevents apple browning and adds brightness!)
- 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced as preferred
Creamy & Nutty Yogurt Dressing- 4 Tbsp thick Greek yogurt
- 1/2 Tbsp whole grain mustard (optional, but adds great flavor!)
- Pinch of salt, to taste
- 1 Tbsp allulose (can substitute with honey or other sweeteners)
- 4 Tbsp thick Greek yogurt
- 1/2 Tbsp whole grain mustard (optional, but adds great flavor!)
- Pinch of salt, to taste
- 1 Tbsp allulose (can substitute with honey or other sweeteners)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the fresh cabbage thoroughly and then shred it as thinly as possible. The thinner the shreds, the crispier and more tender the texture will be.
Step 2
Shred the crisp carrot thinly, similar in thickness to the cabbage. The carrot’s sweetness and color will add vibrancy to the salad.
Step 3
Wash the sweet apple thoroughly under running water, remove the core, and thinly shred it with the skin on. After shredding, immediately toss with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning and maintain its fresh color.
Step 4
Wash the celery stalks clean and then slice them thinly according to your preference. If using frozen celery, it’s best to thaw it first. The fragrant aroma of celery will deepen the salad’s flavor.
Step 5
Place all the shredded cabbage, carrot, apple, and celery into a large bowl. Shall we make the dressing that will bring this salad to life? Start by adding a generous 4 tablespoons of thick Greek yogurt.
Step 6
Next, add 1/2 tablespoon of whole grain mustard for an extra layer of flavor. While whole grain mustard is optional, it adds a wonderful texture with its bursting seeds and elevates the salad’s taste.
Step 7
Add a pinch of salt to balance the flavors and 1 tablespoon of allulose for a subtle sweetness. If allulose isn’t available, you can substitute it with honey, corn syrup, or your preferred sweetener. Now that all the dressing ingredients are in, simply mix them well – that’s it for the dressing! At first, the Greek yogurt might seem a bit stiff and hard to mix, but keep stirring gently with a spatula or fork, and all the ingredients will blend beautifully into a delicious dressing.
Step 8
Pour the finished dressing over the prepared vegetables and gently toss to ensure everything is evenly coated. Your fresh and crisp Cabbage Apple Salad is now complete! It’s so easy to make, it’s perfect as a quick breakfast option or a healthy diet salad.
Step 9
The Greek yogurt-based dressing adds a smooth and savory note to the salad, making it a delight for anyone who enjoys dairy. While you can lightly sauté the cabbage and carrots for a different texture, enjoying them raw allows you to savor the natural freshness and flavor of the vegetables. Today, enjoy a delicious and healthy meal with this Cabbage Apple Salad!
