The Perfect Recipe

This cabbage and cucumber salad is delicious, and despite its seemingly simple ingredients, it’s anything but ordinary. The spices and dressing play a crucial role. White cabbage and fresh cucumbers harmonize beautifully with cumin and sesame seeds. An aromatic oil is also essential for the dressing. We opted for sesame oil. If you prefer pumpkin seeds, you can add them to the salad; if you prefer sunflower seeds (preferably unrefined), you can use those (ideally unroasted). Pine nuts pair perfectly with nut butter, and so on. Lemon-infused olive oil is also an excellent choice for a cabbage and cucumber salad.

INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PEOPLE:

500g white cabbage, 4 cucumbers, 3 cloves of garlic, 20g cloves, 3 sprigs of parsley, 3 black sesame seeds, 1 cumin seed, sesame oil (to taste), vegetable oil (to taste), salt (to taste), ground black pepper (to taste).
