Ingredients
- 1 medium green (white) cabbage
- 1 long English cucumber or 3-4 small cucumbers
- bunch of fresh parsley
- 3-4 spring onions (scallions)
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil (rapeseed, sunflower)
- 2 tablespoons white (distilled) vinegar

Instructions
- Shred or finely slice the cabbage. Add the cabbage to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. With clean hands, give the cabbage a strong squeeze to release the juices. Squeeze as strong as you can.

- In a small bowl, combine vegetable oil, white vinegar, ground pepper, and salt if needed to adjust. Pour into the bowl.
- Mix everything well to coat the veggies in the dressing.
- Chill the salad in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Take it out, toss it once more, and serve.
Notes
Squeezing the cabbage is important. It lets out natural juices, and when combined with salt, it makes the cabbage tender and delicious. So, give it a good squeeze for a salad that's both juicy and refined.
