Cabbage salad dressing

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make coleslaw dressing? Prepare the necessary products. Vegetable oil will not be subjected to heat treatment, so it is best to use unrefined oils with a bright smell: olive, sunflower, perhaps even camelina or sesame. Use apple vinegar 6-9% (or any other fruit vinegar - grape, wine, currant) or replace it on rice vinegar from Japanese cuisine.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a container for preparing the dressing (glass or ceramic dishes are best), combine vegetable oil and vinegar.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add lemon juice. We only need juice from the lemon, so you can also use ready-made, factory-produced lemon juice. Take 1 tablespoon of ready-made lemon juice. If you squeeze the juice directly from the lemon, first wash it well with hot water - this way the lemon will release more juice. To prevent seeds from getting into the dressing, use a small fine sieve.

4. STEP 4

   

   Salt the dressing. I use regular coarse sea salt, but you can add flavored salt to suit your taste.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add sugar. I also use regular white sugar, but you can replace it with cane and coconut sugar.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the garlic, chop it and add it to the dressing. I put the garlic through a press, but you can chop it with a knife or grate it on a fine grater. If you don’t have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder.

7. STEP 7

   

   You can also add some of your favorite herbs or seasonings to the dressing: chopped dill, cilantro and basil, a sprig of thyme or rosemary. And some people just want to add some spice in the form of ground or fresh chili pepper. Follow your taste! Stir the dressing until smooth!

8. STEP 8

   

   Make coleslaw.

9. STEP 9

   

   Serve coleslaw with our flavorful dressing. Bon appetit!

Lately I've been tired of dressing vegetable salads with vegetable oil alone; I want something tasty. That's why I'm looking for different recipes) This time I found a recipe for a delicious dressing for cabbage salad. I reduced the amount of ingredients for dressing by half, because there wasn’t very much salad. I used regular refined sunflower oil. For salads, I also like to use apple cider vinegar, it is softer and has a fruity flavor) But I took two cloves of garlic, I wanted it to be spicier. Mix the dressing well and leave for the sugar to dissolve a little. I made a salad from cabbage and cucumbers. After dressing, I put the salad in the refrigerator to steep and stirred before serving. It turned out to be a very tasty salad! Thanks to this aromatic dressing, the salad successfully combines different tastes: sweet, sour, spicy. And all this harmonizes wonderfully. Thank you!
